Evelyn's Diary. 15 Jul 1675. Our cause was pleaded in behalf of the mother, [his grandmother] Mrs. Howard (age 49) and her daughters, before Baron Thurland (age 68), who had formerly been steward of Courts for me; we carried our cause, as there was reason, for here was an impudent as well as disobedient [his father] son (age 26) against his mother (age 49), by instigation, doubtless, of his wife, one Mrs. Ogle (age 23) (an ancient maid), whom he had clandestinely married, and who brought him no fortune, he being heir-apparent to the Earl of Berkshire (age 60) [Note. The reference to heir apparent is incorrect insofar as Charles Howard 2nd Earl Berkshire (age 60) having a younger brother Thomas Howard 3rd Earl Berkshire (age 55) who did inherit the Earldom]. Craven in line to inherit in the event the 2nd or 3rd Earl didn't have issue which proved to be the case but Craven had died by that time so his son Henry Bowes Howard 4th Earl Berkshire 11th Earl Suffolk became the 4th Earl. We lay at Brickhill, in Bedfordshire, and came late the next day to our journey's end.

In 1711 Joseph Banks of Revesby Abbey, Lincolnshire (age 45) bought Revesby Abbey [Map] from Henry Bowes Howard 4th Earl Berkshire 11th Earl Suffolk (age 25).

After 07 Mar 1779. St Peter's Church, Elford [Map]. Memorials to Henry Howard 12th Earl Suffolk 5th Earl Berkshire (deceased), [his father] Craven Howard and Henry Bowes Howard 4th Earl Berkshire 11th Earl Suffolk.
