“ By the death of this venerable old lady his lordship will come into possession of £50,000 ready money, and one of the finest collections of paintings in this country. The late Sir Joshua Reynolds frequently said that it contained a greater variety of pieces by first masters of the Italian, Dutch, French, and Flemish schools than any other private collection in England, and estimated it at £200,000 value. It is supposed that the deceased, in conformity with her promises frequently repeated, has besides left a legacy of £10,000 to each of his lordship’s six daughters. ”

“ His only surviving child and heir was the son of his first wife.
Anthony Aufrère, Esq. of Hoveton, who was born February 1730, and died at Hoveton, 11th September 1814, in his eighty-fifth year, is remarkable as the father of fifteen children—seven sons and eight daughters. He entered the married state on the 19th February 1756. His widow, Anna, daughter of John Norris, Esq. of Witton and Witchingham, Fellow (1728) of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, by Anna, daughter of Thomas Carthew of Benacre, in Suffolk, Esq., died at Hoveton 11th September 1814, in her eighty-second year. ”
