The Other family were perhaps the wealthiest inhabitants of Redmire during the 19th century. Christopher and Anne Other came to Redmire in the mid 17th Century, settling in the heart of the village at the Old Elm House. Their descendant Thomas Other married Jane Lister, of the Coverham Abbey family, and built the present day Elm House in the late 18th century.
In 1841, we see Christopher Other living at Elm House with his new wife Ann, their first born, Ann, a large number of servants and Elizabeth Burrill, nee Other, Christopher's sister.
Christopher was a banker, at the partnership of Hutton, Wood, Other, Robson, Ellis and Simpson who had offices at Richmond and Leyburn. They had just recently (in 1836) become the Swaledale and Wensleydale Banking Company, issuing their own banknotes featuring pictures of Richmond and Bolton Castles, which no doubt the rest of the villagers were using.
