Hon. Henry Hastings

Henry Hastings (c. 1561[1] – 15 October 1650), was an English landowner and an eccentric country sportsman. He supported the Royalist cause in the English Civil War.

"Hastings was the typical country squire of the time, "well-natured, but soon angry." He always dressed in green, and keeping all sorts of hounds and hawks, devoted himself to hunting. His hall was hung with sporting trophies, while favourite dogs and cats occupied every corner. His table was provided from his farms and fishponds, and hospitable. The pulpit of a disused neighbouring chapel formed his larder."
