[Footnote 1: Thomas Hinderwell, "History of Scarborough," 1811, p. 350.]
In 1640, when Sir Hugh (as a burgess for Scarborough) was attending the
Short Parliament in London, his regiment was commanded to march to the
Scottish Border. His brother Henry Cholmley, being Lieut.-Colonel, went
with it, but at Durham they were ordered back.
In November 1641 Sir Hugh was again attending Parliament, and at that time
he feared the advance of the Scots into Yorkshire, "which," he says, "did
not a little disquiet my mind and thoughts for my dear wife and children;
the snow being so great, I could not possibly remove them so soon as I
desired"; "but at the latter end of February, as soon as the ways were
passable, I had her and all my family in London." It must have been an
unusually prolonged period of snow to keep Sir Hugh and his family apart
for two or three months. Roxby Castle was his birthplace, and his account
of his early years there includes an accident which might have had fatal
results.
