Description

Lord Charles Cavendish, Henry Cavendish's father, owned estates in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, neighbouring the lands of the Duke of Devonshire and other family members. His stewards were Cotes (who resigned in 1764) and subsequently Thomas Revill. Lord Charles turned over management of his estates to Henry Cavendish in the summer of 1782.

These papers details Henry's management of these estates and his wider management of his finances and properties. They also include financial management after his death: a copy of his will and a copy of the auction catalogue from the posthumous sale of his possessions.
