Abstract
Gervase Holles, the Lincolnshire Antiquary (1607–75), was the representative of a junior branch of that family which acquired the Earldom of Clare from James I, produced the famous Denzil Holies, and in 1694 was elevated to the Dukedom of Newcastle. Gervase was a keen student of genealogy, heraldry, records and antiquities, and it was his ambition, inspired perhaps by the work of his friend, Sir William Dugdale, on Warwickshire, to produce an account “both historicall and genealogical” of his own native county.
