97 Or perhaps not. His father’s is a much finer piece of sculpture than his own and this may be Crocker’s work. Oglander had bought, at an earlier stage, ‘a statue of a Turkish knight’, which he kept in his cellar at Nunwell and which his will instructed his son to put up in the church at Brading in his memory. So this image may be of a random Turk.

1 Cornelius Janssen arrived in Kent to paint many gentry portraits in about 1636 (Oxinden Letters I, 168)
2 The extraordinarily rich cache of Oxinden letters are all in the British Library in seven folio volumes running from 1589 to 1710, numbered Add. MSS 27999–28005. Harry’s notebooks are there too under Add. 28010, 28012–3 and 54332–4. And there are still more Oxinden papers under MSS 28006–28012. The BL catalogue spells the name of the family ‘Oxenden’, which is an anachronism for the seventeenth century. The letters were bought by the British Museum in 1869 from Sir Henry Oxenden of Broome Park in Kent, a descendant of the people in this chapter, who spelled the name with two ‘e’s. Kent Archaeological Society in Maidstone has Harry Oxinden’s Account Book. An outstanding edition of the letters was made by Dorothy Gardiner in two volumes: The Oxinden Letters 1607– 1642, London, 1933, and The Oxinden and Peyton Letters, 1642–1670, London, 1937, from here on referred to in these notes as ‘Letters I’ and ‘Letters II’.

1 Many of the late seventeenth-century letters written by the le Neve and Gawdy families and their friends and relations are in the British Library under Egerton MSS 2717–9, 2721 and Add. MSS 27396–7, 36989–90, 71573, 78698, 79491, 79532. Summaries and paraphrases of a large proportion of them were published in the late nineteenth century in Historical Manuscripts Commission, Report on the Manuscripts of the Family of Gawdy, London, 1885, from here on referred to in these notes as ‘HMC Gawdy’; and Francis Rye and Amy Rye, eds, Calendar of Correspondence and Documents relating to the Family of Oliver le Neve, of Witchingham Norfolk, 1675–1743, Norwich, 1895, from here on referred to as ‘Rye, le Neve’. Another large cache of le Neve papers is in the Norfolk Record Office under MC 1. Hobart accounts and some correspondence are also there as part of the Lothian of Blickling papers, MC 184, also calendared in Historical Manuscripts Commission, Report on the Manuscripts of the Marquis of Lothian, London, 1905 (from here on HMC Lothian).
