Caption

The Reverend Charles Everard, shown seated, was Rector of various churches and Prebendary of York and Sarum. His mother was the daughter of Lawrence Booth of Twemlow, Cheshire, through whom he succeeded to Twemlow and assumed the names and arms of Booth. He married, but died without children. Little is otherwise known about the Reverend, and as such, the scene is not identifiable. The players are seen using the mace, which was superseded by the cue soon after 1800.
