Many books survive today, at Ickworth House and elsewhere, inscribed ”Tho: & Isabella Hervey”, apparently written by Isabella's husband, Sir Thomas Hervey, although there are numerous books which seem initially to have been Isabella’s personally. Examples: many at Ickworth; Christopher Edwards catalogue 77 (2020)/64.
