Alice LUCY d.1648
Biographical Note
Of Charlecote Park, Warwickshire, the Lucy family were landowners, MPs and administrators, noted also as patrons of the arts, antiquaries, and scholars.
Books
Alice and her husband Sir Thomas Lucy are both known to have been active book-lovers who established a significant library, which is featured on Thomas’s funeral monument. It was further developed by later family members, including Richard. Some books from the 17th-century period survive at Charlecote Park today, interspersed among later acquisitions, although much of the original has been lost.
