Fettiplace NOTT 1670/1-1726

Biographical Note

FettiplaceNott-KCL-Ap_0001.jpeg

Armorial Bookplate of Fettiplace Nott (Franks 22062 or *443) from FOL. K9 R6, Foyle Special Collections Library, King's College London.

Son of Charles Nott of London and Eleanor (Fettiplace). Admitted to the Inner Temple in 1696, according to its admissions register, although the bookplates listed below have him there in 1694. Admitted at the Middle Temple in 1690. ‘William Fettiplace Nott, Esq.’ was listed by Thomas Harwood as a Steward of Lichfield between 1699 and 1726; ‘William’ was presumably an error. Described as Serjeant-of-Law in the burial register of Bickenhill Church, Warwickshire. Married Sarah (Hammond).

His son and heir Fettiplace Nott (1702/3-75 ), Steward of Lichfield 1762-9, was admitted at the Middle Temple in 1720 and called to the bar in 1726, making it conceivable that the third of the bookplates listed below belonged to the latter.

Books

The nature and content of his library (and that of his son) are not established.

Examples: British Library 1606/594 (with bookplate referring to Inner Temple); Bonhams, Printed Books, Maps and Photographs, Oxford 25 June 2014, lot 233 (with bookplate referring to Middle Temple); The Foyle Special Collections Library, King's College London FOL. K9 R6 (with bookplate referring to Inner Temple, this book also has fifteen leaves containing a manuscript index of cases during the reigns of Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I, in an unknown 17th century hand).

Characteristic Markings

Gambier Howe lists the following armorial bookplates for this name: Franks 22062 ‘of the Inner Temple, London, Esqr. 1694’; *443 (another impression of the last plate); 22063 ‘Esqr. of the Middle Temple, London’ (the last plate reworked)’.
