Also G.F.Dickson himself was, from 1835 on, considered as "of

", though he did not live there. He himself, his wife Jane (who had spent her last years with her son Spencer at Norwood), and their sons are buried here, at the graveyards of Haverthwaite and Colton.

His "middle name" Benson hints at the fact that, already at the time of his birth the relocation of the family's geographical focus to the Lake District was under way, after the inheritance of the Benson family's possessions there of which Arthur Benson Dickson eventually became the heir in his father's - G.F.Dickson's - succession. So possibly the choice of his middle name was not only a reverence to the bequeathing Benson family and the last male Benson owner, but also an early hint for his selection as the everntual heir.
 
From here, i.e. from the Benson family's home, Black Beck near Haverthwaite, came

, G.F.Dickson's grandmother, who under her matrimonial name of Sarah Willatt gained some historical importance as the long-time postmistress of Manchester. After all 18 grandchildren of her father - i.e. the children of her brothers William and John Benson and also all of her own children - stayed without issue, except for one, her daughter Sarah Willatt, who died young herself, but was the mother of G.F.Dickson as her only child, it became obvious from an early stage on that the extended estates of both lines of the Benson family would become the inheritance of G.F.Dickson and his children as the only remaining descendants of the Benson and Willatt families.
 
Particularly in (then) recent times (i.e. rather shortly before the inheritance) these estates had been increased considerably. Black Beck (originally part of the estates of the Sawreys of

) had belonged to the Benson family since 1618. Four generations later, Sarah Willatt's (née Benson) brother William Benson, the heir and owner of Black Beck, purchased the nearby estates of Lindeth (1779) and

(either together with Lindeth in 1779, or separately somewhat later, in 1785; this date is given by Harriett Dickson, G.F.Dickson's daughter-in-law). Sarah Willatt's (née Benson) second brother, John Benson, had lived as a merchant in Liverpool. He was married to Janet, née Postlethwaite, whose family owned as their  ancestral seat the estate of

(near Haverthwaite as well). The Postlethwaites also had been churchwardens of Colton for some generations. Eventually Janet and John Benson moved to Abbots Reading, joining its two residents, her father Richard and her brother Myles, two widowers with no descendants in the following generation. After their deaths (John Benson died in 1780, Richard Postlethwaite in 1787 at 92, Myles Postlethwaite in 1788), the son of John and Janet Benson (she died in 1809), Arthur Benson, became the "5th of Abbots Reading". He died in 1820, his last surviving sister Frances, Arthur Benson Dickson's godmother, in 1835, all without issue.
 
All of these estates,  Black Beck, Underfield, and Abbots Reading, were eventually inherited by G.F.Dickson and after him by his son Arthur Benson.
