Sir Henry Puckering, 3rd Baronet.
He was Sir Henry Puckering Newton until 1654.
was an English royalist and politician.
Baptised at St. Dunstan's-in-the-West,
London, on 13 April 1618, he was a younger
son of Sir Adam Newton of Charlton, Kent,
by Katharine, daughter of
Lord-keeper Sir John Puckering.
On the death of his elder brother,
Sir William Newton, he succeeded to
the title of baronet and estates.
He was admitted at the Inner Temple in 1631,
and received an MA from Cambridge on the
King's visit there in early 1632.
At the outbreak of the First English Civil
War he raised a troop of horse for the king,
and was present at the battle of Edgehill.
After the king's defeat at the battle of
Naseby, however he sought to make terms with
the parliament, and in 1646 his fine was fixed
(at £1,273); the Commons on 13 July 1647
ordered his fine to be accepted, and pardoned
his delinquency.
He was about to join the king's forces in
Essex in June 1648, when he was seized by
order of the parliament, and only released
on promising to live quietly in the country.
In 1654 Newton inherited by deed of settlement
the estates of his maternal uncle,
Sir Thomas Puckering, on the death of the
latter's only surviving daughter, Anne,
wife of Sir John Bale of Carlton Curlieu,
Leicestershire.
He then assumed the surname of Puckering,
and moved to Sir Thomas's residence, the
Priory, Warwick, where in August he received
a visit from John Evelyn.
Both Puckering and his wife supported
distressed cavaliers.
At the Restoration Puckering was appointed
paymaster-general of the forces.
In 1661 he was elected as a Member of
Parliament MP for Warwickshire.
He held that seat throughout the Cavalier
Parliament, and on 6 February 1679
he was elected as an MP for the borough
of Warwick. His activity as a justice
of the peace, together with his leniency
towards the Roman Catholics, made him unpopular.
In 1691 he gave the bulk of his library to
Trinity College, Cambridge, and afterwards
for a period was in residence there;
this donation included the Milton manuscripts
now in Trinity College Library.
He died intestate on 22 January 1701,
and was buried in the choir of
St. Mary, Warwick.
Lady Puckering, who died in 1689,
was Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Murray,
and sister to Lady Anne Halkett.
Puckering proved a great friend to
Lady Halkett, lending her money before
her marriage, and fighting a duel in
Flanders with Colonel Joseph Bampfield,
one of her suitors, who was suspected
of having a wife still living
he was wounded in the hand.
After Lady Puckering's death, Puckering
forgave Lady Halkett all her debts to him.
Thomas Fuller dedicated a section of his
Church History to Henry, eldest son of
Puckering, who died before his father.
As he left no issue the baronetcy became extinct,
while the estate devolved by his own
settlement upon his wife's niece Jane,
daughter and coheiress of Henry Murray,
groom of the bed-chamber to Charles II,
and widow of Sir John Sir John Bowyer,
2nd Baronet of Knypersley, Staffordshire,
for her life, with remainder to
Vincent Grantham of Goltho, Lincolnshire.
