Diary of Anne Clifford. 21st February 1616. Upon the 21st my Lord [aged 26] and I began our journey northward—the same day my Lord Willoughby [aged 32] came and broke his fast with my Lord.

Diary of Anne Clifford. 22nd August 1616. Upon the 22nd I met my Lord [aged 27] at Appleby Town's end where he came with a great company of horses, Lord William Howard, he and I riding in the coach together and so we came that night to Brougham.

There came with him Thomas Glenham [aged 22], Coventry, Grosvenor, Grey Dick, &c., &c. The same night Prudence¹, Bess, Penelope² and some of the men came hither but the stuff was not yet come so as they were fain to lie 3 or 4 in bed.³

Diary of Anne Clifford. 31st May 1619. The 31st I stayed at home and was sad and melancholy.

Note. After I came out of town my Lord Chancellor had the tenants before him and willed them to yield to my Uncle Cumberland, at which time he gave Mr Davis bad words.

The 27th my Lord [aged 30] and my Brother Sackville and I, Moll Neville and Mr Longworth rid abroad on horseback in Whitby Wood and did not sup till 8 or 9 o'clock. After supper my Lord and I walked before the gate where I told him how good he was teverybody else and how unkind to me. In conclusion he promised me in a manner that he would make me a jointure of four thousand pounds a year, whereof part should be of the land he has assured to my Uncle Cumberland.

This term there was great expectation that my Lord and Lord Suffolk and that faction would be proceeded against in the Star Chamber but at their suit it was put off till Michaelmas Term. This term Lord William Howard put a Bill into the Star Chamber against Sir William Hatton and others of my Coz. Clifford's faction. This term my Lord kept an exceeding great table, at dinner had much company. He had often cocking and sometimes with the King at Greenwich and won a great deal of money.

The 19th Lady Rosse's submission was read in the Star Chamber but Sir Thomas and Lady Lake refused to submit, for which their contempt they were committed close prisoners to the Tower. The 21st Sir Thomas Glenham [aged 25] married Sir Peter Vavasour's daughter with whom he had a great portion. This marriage was at her Father's house and very private.

About this time my Coz. Mary made an end of reading Parson's resolutions to me.

On 30th August 1632 [his father] Henry Glemham died.

In 1649 Thomas Glemham [aged 55] died.
