Diary – James Losh – 23 Jan 1825
I dined and staid all night at Bradley with Mr. Beaumont (his brother Edwd. was with him). My opinion of Mr. Beaumont is unchanged. Had he been a person of moderate fortune and properly educated, he would have been an amiable and accomplished man, whereas now he is evidently (tho’ not without some good qualities), the mere slave of his passions and his habits. Mr. Ed. Beaumont is sickly and feeble looking but seems to be a pleasing young man.

Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Christopher Bird – 30 Mar 1825
Mr Bird March 30th 1825
I should have been most happy to have seen you and Mr Wm Beaumont to have taken up your quarters with me but at present we are all in confusion from workmen in the house. The female servants however are all at Bradley and the house then in order to receive Mr G B and his bride. I fear Mr Wm will find fishing a cold amusement and the woodcock I should suppose are all gone.

As agent to Colonel Beaumont, owner & an extensive occupier of Lead Mines I have learnt with the utmost alarm that it is intended to lower, almost to nothing, the duty now payable on the importation of Foreign Lead and Ore. – as this measure appears to [replaced: me] us fraught with injury to the Lead Mines and to the numerous people now usefully employed in parts of the Country which admit of n

To: A Trevalyn Esq, Nether Witten. June 20th 1825
Richard Simpson was not quite a year in Mr Beaumonts service but during the time he held the situation he was sober, civil and attentive. He is a good shot and took considerable pains in destroying vermin. [struck out: ‘I believe Mr Beaumont got a little out of humour with the behaviour of his dogs’] Mr B did not assign any reason to me for dismissing him and directed me to give him a good character.

To Hexham where I attended a meeting for the purpose of establishing a Mechanic Institution. I opened the meeting in a speech of some length, explaining the nature, pointing out the benefits to be derived from institutions of this kind and concluded with an exhortation to the working mechanics (of whom considerable numbers attended) to form themselves into a society to manage their own affairs and to exert themselves for their own advantage as well as that of their families.
