Audley End Links

As there have been so many owners of Audley End it is difficult to design a page that does not just look like a list of links.

The page starts with the English Heritage links and then moves on to Thomas Audley.

Thomas Audley could have a page of his own as he was "active" in the time of Henry VIII.

While the English Heritage website for Audley End is very good it is difficult to follow the timeline from Thomas Audley to the present time. The Howards and the expansion of Audley End and then the reduction to what we see today is a little confused (well at least for me).

Griffin and Robert Alan and of course Capability Brown.

Richard Aldworth Neville (1750–1825)

Braybrooke

Richard Griffin, 3rd Baron Braybrooke (1783-1858) described himself as an "amateur" historian. Never-the-less, he wrote a pretty comprehensive history of Audley End and the surrounding area of Saffron Walden.

He was also a collector of art and was involved with the editing of the Diaries of Samuel Pepys.

Braybrooke served as president of the Camden Society between 1853 and 1858.

Elizabeth, Countess of Portsmouth (1691–1762) https://archive.org/details/privatecorrespon0000baco/page/n5/mode/2up
