Burke writes of the family as 'one of the most ancient and honorable in England.<br> Their connection with Herefordshire began with the ancestor who came over to help William the Conqueror from Normandy.

It was in fact a most remarkable success and the first step towards one of the most distinguished literary careers of the age.<br> Concerning the provenance Rokeby Park is well known as the original English home in the painting "The Toilet of Venus" by Diego Velázquez. The painting is now referred to as The Rokeby Venus". It now hangs in the National Gallery London and a copy hangs in the saloon at Rokeby Park. Sir Walter Scott was a regular visitor to the house and he used it as the setting for his narrative poem Rokeby in 1812.<br> The building is also of interest in its own right. Completed in 1735 and known at the time as Rokeby Hall by Sir Thomas Robinson it is considered a fine example of the Italianate Palladian style. Robinson owned it until 1769 when he sold it to J.S. Morritt whose bookplate adorns the initial pastedown. The magnificent library of Giannalisa Feltrinelli was sold in 1997 at auction. This fine example was selected for one of the most important libraries in Europe. By Robert and Andrew Foulis for Edward and Charles Dilly In the Poultry. hardcover
