Her eldest son Calverley Bewicke (1883–1963) was the heir to the property and he found a career in the Scots Guards and was eventually promoted to Captain. In 1911 he married Hylda Dugdale and the couple had one son born in 1914. In 1915 the family went to Western Australia and established a very large sheep property over the next eight years. In 1923 they sold the farm and returned to England. They resumed occupation of Close House when Sir James Knott left and developed a successful racehorse stud. Hylda, his wife died in 1935 and Calverley remarried in 1943. His second wife was Hannah Baxter (née Taylor) widow of Fane Fleming Baxter. In 1953 Calverley sold Close House and High Close House and moved to Shawdon Hall where he continued his racehorse interests.
