Thomas WINDHAM d.1654

Biographical Note

Member of the Windham family of Felbrigg Hall, Norfolk.

Books

Thomas left books to his son William, which were subsequently taken by his half-brother’s widow; he was compensated with £10. William acquired books himself, and the library at Felbrigg has numerous books with his signature and sometimes date of acquisition. Subsequent members of the family (Ashe, 1673-1749, William II, 1717-61, William III, 1750-1810) continued to acquire books and their inscriptions can also be found across the library.
