John Evelyn's Diary. 24th March 1688. I went with Sir Charles Littleton [aged 60] to Sheen [Map], a house and estate given him by Lord Brounker; one who was ever noted for a hard, covetous, vicious man; but for his worldly craft and skill in gaming few exceeded him. Coming to die, he bequeathed all his land, house, furniture, etc., to Sir Charles, to whom he had no manner of relation, but an ancient friendship contracted at the famous siege of Colchester, forty years before. It is a pretty place, with fine gardens, and well planted, and given to one worthy of them, Sir Charles being an honest gentleman and soldier. He is brother to Sir Henry Littleton [aged 64] of Worcestershire, whose great estate he is likely to inherit, his brother being without children. They are descendants of the great lawyer of that name, and give the same arms and motto. He is married to one Mrs. Temple [aged 39], formerly Maid of Honour to the late Queen [aged 49], a beautiful lady, and he has many fine children, so that none envy his good fortune.

On 24th June 1693 Henry Lyttelton 2nd Baronet [aged 69] died. His brother Charles [aged 65] succeeded 3rd Baronet Lyttelton of Frankley. Anne Temple Lady Lyttelton [aged 44] by marriage Lady Lyttelton of Frankley.
