Description: | Deeds and papers re Holbeach, Fleet and, Whaplode, formerly belonging to the Knightley family of Fawsley, Northamptonshire, baronets.
Original box marked "Sir Charles and Miss Hervey - Lincolnshire Estates".
The properties appear to have been in the possession of Edmund Lee of Egham, Surrey, who left them to his sister's family, the Elwells. Sir John Elwell left a daughter, Selina Mary Elwell (d 1841) who married firstly Felton Lord Hervey in 1779 (he died 1785) and then Sir William Fremantle. A daughter of Lady Fremantle by her first marriage was Selina Hervey (d 1856), who in 1813 married Sir Charles Knightley of Fawsley, and the Lincolnshire lands came into her marriage settlement. It is not clear when the Knightleys disposed of the Lincolnshire estates. | Subjects: | Country Estates Church Of England Parishes Religion & Beliefs | Temporal: | pre 1797 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
