Second son of Robert Eadley Wilmot (see DCHQ200570), of Osmaston, Derbyshire, and his wife, Sarah. He wrote his fathers biography and was also a politician and barrister. The seat of the Wilmots was the, now demolished, Osmaston Hall; search the site for views of the hall. This image is one of a collection by the famous local antiquarian, Thomas Bateman, of Middleton by Youlgreave. (1821-1861). Bateman organized his collection by inserting them into a 4 volume copy of Lysons Magna Britannia, Derbyshire, creating a fascinating and unique illustrated record of the county. The purchase of the collection for Derbyshire Libraries was made possible by the generous bequest of Miss Frances Webb of Whaley Bridge, well known local historian, who died in December 2006.
