Record title: Household Inventory of Sir Thomas Fairfax
Repository: West Yorkshire Archive Service
Shelfmark: WYL1352/D1/5
Repository location: Wakefield
Sir Thomas Fairfax II (c 1575–1636) divided his time between his primary residence at Gilling Castle and a secondary home at Walton, two miles east of Wetherby. Though Fairfax himself conformed, his wife Catherine Constable (d. 1626) was a life-long recusant, and it is probably for this reason that Fairfax was not a member of the High Commission, nor was he ever appointed knight of the shire. He was MP for Boroughbridge in 1601 (HPO, 'Fairfax, Thomas II,' accessed 31 December 2020). See also the Introduction.
