Autographs
Charles I
Undated and incomplete letters consisting of three pages from Charles I to Treasury Commissioners, Treasurer and Under Treasurer of the Exchequer, and to Sir George Wentwroth, Receiver of revenues from forfeited property of "popish Recusants & Papists" in the Northern counties. The letters state that:


The late Earl of Strafford (Thomas Wentworth, executed 11 May 1641) let the Crown in early 1640 a total of £20,000 (four tallies totalling £19,000 dated 31 January 1639-40 and another £1000 on 8 February), to be repaid at fixed dates in 1641-43 (£7000 in Easter Term 1641).


The late Earl by surrender of 19 April "last" (no later that 1641) gave up his letters of Privy Seal (9 May 1640) and all right and title in any capital and interest remaining to be paid; with request that what remained be payable to his brother Sir George Wentworth.


These letters confirm that Sir George Wentworth is to receive the sums due (£13,000 capital, and interest) to come out of moneys received by him and (if he is replaced in his office) by his successors. Photo

Sir George Wentworth (1609-66) joined his older brother, Thomas in Ireland (1633) where he was knighted by him. George sat in Irish Parliament of 1634 for Bandonbridge. He became MP for Pontefract 1640-44 but returned repeatedly to Ireland to support his brother in the charges against him.
