Life of Lord Chesterfield; an account of the ancestry, personal character & public services of the fourth Earl of Chesterfield[microform] . r a gallant resistance, in which Colonel Stanhope and most of hismen were slain. The living is in the patronage of the Earls of Carnarvon,and the church was their burial-place until the death of the sixth Earl, whenthat distinction was transferred to Bretby, in Derbyshire. In accordancewith directions in his will the fourth Earl of Chesterfield was interred in theburying-place nearest to Chesterfield House, which was Grosvenor Chapel, inSouth Audley Street, but the body was afterwards removed to Shelford,where it remains. Eventually Bretby became the home of the Chesterfields,living and dead, until the decease of the seventh Earl, when Bretby and theother estates went to his sister, the Countess of Carnarvon, and herdescendants. - By a strange irony of fate he was born in the house which is now thetown house of the Bishops of London, but which was then rented by hisfather. He afterwards removed to No. 13, where he remained until he wentto live in Grosvenor Square upon his marriage. 40. /. Houbraken :, MAK(j[. OF HALIFAX 1740
