Just a reminder that there are many well researched books on Suffolk
subjects at The Suffolk Records Society.

Their latest publication  is -

Savage Fortune: An Aristocratic Family in the Early Seventeenth Century
Edited by Lyn Boothman
Edited by Sir Richard Hyde Parker
The story of Thomas and Elizabeth Savage and their family, presented here,
is a turbulent one, moving from the grandeur of the royal court [Thomas was
Chancellor to Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, and his wife
Elizabeth was one of her ladies of the bedchamber] to debt and imprisonment.
It is teased out through a close examination of the documentary evidence,
from letters on intimate family matters and health problems to business
correspondence and official documents from the royal court, including
Elizabeth's many petitions to Charles I, and later to the House of Lords.
There is a particular focus on their houses at Long Melford (Suffolk),
Rocksavage (Cheshire), and at Tower Hill in London. Lavishly illustrated
with plates and diagrams.
