Charles Hanbury-Williams papers, 1584-1808 (bulk 1720-1759).

The Charles Hanbury-Williams Papers contains correspondence and other materials that document his activities in the political, social, and cultural life at the royal courts in Berlin, Dresden, Saint Petersburg, and Warsaw in the 1740s and 1750s, as well as those of his predecessor envoys George Woodward (1697-1735) and Melchior Guy Dickens (1695-1775). Hanbury-Williams’s political, personal, literary, and family papers are present in smaller quantity, but those files encompass his friends and family in London and Monmouthshire, Wales, and his parliamentary constituents and friends in Herefordshire, England. Significantly represented in the correspondence files are Hanbury-Williams’s colleagues Henry Harris, Thomas Winnington, and Henry Fox, Baron Holland; his Hanbury brothers; his wife Lady Frances Coningsby Hanbury-Williams and her father Lord Thomas Coningsby; and his daughters Lady Frances (Fanny) Hanbury-Williams Essex and Charlotte Hanbury-Williams Walsingham
