<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
The Finch family produced a number of peers, MPs and statesmen during the 17th century, many of whom left recorded traces of library ownership, while others who will certainly have owned books have not. This entry is largely replicated for each of the individual members as the movement of books between them, and down the generations, is not clear.<br />
<br />
[[family::Moyle Finch]] was the son of Sir [[family::Thomas Finch]] of [[location::Eastwell, Kent]], was [[occupation::MP]] for several south coast constituencies between 1572 and 1601, and held various civic offices in [[location::Kent]]. He purchased a baronetcy in 1611 and his widow [[family::Elizabeth Heneage]] (1556-1634) was created Countess of Winchilsea in 1628. Of their children, the first son Sir [[family::Theophilus Finch|Theophilus]], 2nd baronet, died in 1619; the second son, [[family::Thomas Finch|Thomas]] (1578-1639) inherited the peerage title as 2nd Earl of Winchilsea, and the third, Sir [[family::Heneage Finch 1580-1631|Heneage Finch]] (1580-1631) had a distinguished legal career, including the offices of [[occupation::Recorder]] of [[location::London]] (1621-31) and [[occupation::speaker]] of the [[organisations::House of Commons]] (1626). He amassed considerable wealth and at the end of his life owned the estate in [[location::Kensington]] which later became Kensington Palace. Of his children, his first son [[family::Heneage Finch 1621-1682|Heneage Finch]] (1621-82) became [[occupation::Lord Chancellor]] in 1675, after a successful political/legal career after the Restoration as [[occupation::Solicitor General]] and [[occupation::Attorney General]], and was made 1st Earl of Nottingham in 1681. A younger brother Sir [[family::John Finch]] (1626-1682) studied [[subject::medicine]] on the continent during the Interregnum and although elected FRS and FRCP in the early 1660s spent much of the rest of his life abroad, being English [[occupation::ambassador]] in [[location::Constantinople]] during the 1670s.<br />
<br />
In the elder line, the eldest son of [[family::Thomas Finch|Thomas]], 2nd Earl of Winchilsea, also named [[family::Heneage Finch ca.1635-1689|Heneage Finch]] (ca.1635-1689), became 3rd Earl on the death of his father in 1639; his son William (1652-1672) predeceased him and the title passed to William's son [[family::Charles Finch]], 4th Earl of Winchilsea (1672-1712). After his death the title passed to his uncle, a younger son of the 3rd Earl (Heneage Finch, 5th Earl of Winchilsea, 1657-1726), then to his half-brother John Finch, 6th Earl of Winchilsea (1683-1729), after which the Winchilsea and Nottingham peerages were united in Daniel Finch (1647-1730), the son of the Lord Chancellor, who was both the 2nd Earl of Nottingham and the 7th earl of Winchilsea.<br />
<br />
====Books====<br />
A small number of books are recorded with one of two similar armorial stamps used by Sir Moyle. Seven are listed in the armorials database with a stamp attributed to the Sir Heneage who was speaker of the Commons (d.1631), but as one of these books dates from 1666 this attribution is questionable, or the stamp continued in family use in some way. 13 books are listed using one of four stamps attributed to Heneage, 3rd Earl and two books are known with the coroneted monogram stamp used by Charles, 4th Earl. These last two books also carry an armorial bookplate made for the 4th Earl, dated 1704, known in two states (Franks 10492, *60). ''ODNB'' notes that many of the books of the physician Sir John Finch, bequeathed to Daniel, 2nd Earl of Nottingham/7th Earl of Winchilsea, were destroyed by a fire at the latter's house at [[location::Burley on the Hill, Rutland]]. Nothing is currently known about the library of Heneage, the Lord Chancellor, though he will surely have had one.<br />
<br />
It is likely that books will have passed around and accumulated between these various generations and branches of the family, moving between multiple houses, in ways which cannot now be traced in any detail. Sir Moyle's will includes a wish that the household stuff and furniture at each of his houses should "continue to the houses". In 1758 the library of "the late Right Honourable Heneage Finch, Lord Winchelsea", together with that of his chaplain [[associates::John Creyke]], "and many other considerable libraries" was sold by retail sale by Thomas Osborne in London; two sale catalogues survive, dating the sale as beginning on 2 January (part 1) and 26 April (part 2). It is not clear whether this is a reference to the 3rd Earl or the 5th Earl (both called Heneage); Creyke (d.1747) can only have been chaplain to the 8th Earl, Daniel (1689-1769, succeeded to the title 1730). Either way this sale was evidently a time when many Finch family books came onto the market. <br />
