These papers are of William Heveningham (1604-78) of Ketteringham in Norfolk and Heveningham in Suffolk and of his second wife Mary Cary (d.1696), daughter of John, Earl of Dover. Heveningham was Sheriff of Norfolk in 1634 and was one of the Judges of Charles I whose death warrant, however, he refused to sign. He saved his life by surrendering under the proclamation of June 6th 1660. He was M.P. for Stockbridge, Hants., 1640, a member of the Council of State 1650, and vice-admiral of Suffolk 1651.
