Description: It is not known whether this is actually Charles Stanhope, 3rd Earl Stanhope FRS (August 3, 1753 – December 15, 1816) or Charles Stanhope, 3rd Earl of Harrington PC (17 March 1753 – 5 September 1829) as the two are often confused.
Note: other images found more closely resemble the latter, Charles Stanhope, 3rd Earl of Harrington.
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.
