Caption
There are three portraits of the Buckle family at Felbrigg: as well as this, there are portraits of Thrower’s wife, Ann; his brother, John; and his daughter, Ann. These portraits are at the property because Ann’s son, the Rev. Cremer Cremer, married Marianna Wyndham of Felbrigg. Thrower lived in the Norfolk village of Cringleford.
