Biographical Note
Of Ickworth Manor, Suffolk; MP.
Books
Many books survive today, at Ickworth House and elsewhere, inscribed "Tho: & Isabella Hervey", apparently written by Thomas, although there are numerous books which seem initially to have belonged to his wife, Isabella Hervey, personally. Examples: many at Ickworth; Christopher Edwards catalogue 77 (2020)/64.
