Attributed to Henry Stone (known as "Old Stone") (British, 1616-1653) Portrait of King Charles I, head and shoulders, wearing the Garter Star and George Medal oil on panel 70 x 58cm (27 x 23in) Provenance: By inheritance in the Alington family to the Little Barford branch and thence to the present owner Other Notes: The following thirty lots consisting mostly of portraits of members of the Alington Family and their immediate relations, come from that family's collection at Little Barford, near Bedford. The Alingtons were settled at Horseheath near Cambridge by 1397. A William Alington in the time of Henry VI married Elizabeth, the sole heiress of Sir William Argentine of Halesworth in Suffolk and Great Wymondley in Hertfordshire. In the seventeenth century, their descendant William Alington - still of Horseheath - was in 1642 elevated to the Peerage as Baron Alington of Killand, Co. Cork. An earlier younger brother of the Baron Alington's forbear, called George, was the progenitor of the Alingtons of Swinhope in Lincolnshire where they held extensive estates. In the eighteenth century a second son of this Swinhope branch, The Reverend William Alington (1761-1849) married Sarah Williamson of Baldock and they were founders of the Little Barford line of the family. At much the same time in the early 18th century, the original peerage and senior male line became extinct on the death of the 5th Baron in 1712. The sister and ultimately sole heir of the 4th Baron, Catherine, married in the time of William III, Sir Nathaniel Napier Bt. of Crichel in Dorset. Their daughter Diana married Humphrey Sturt in 1717/18 and it was their descendant Henry Gerard Sturt (1825-1904) who became the 1st Baron Alington of the 2nd creation in 1876. This later title was also to become extinct in 1940. At some point in time, it is clear that portraits of the seventeenth century baronial line were transferred from Horseheath to their nearby cousins in the junior branch at Little Barford. This almost certainly took place when Horseheath Hall which had been built for the 3rd Baron Alington by Sir Roger Pratt in 1663-5 (and which was until its tragic demolition in 1792 one of the greatest houses in the country, let alone in East Anglia) was leased by the Alington heiress Catherine, Lady Napier on a 999 year tenure, to John Bromley a Barbados sugar-planter. The present group of pictures from Little Barford does, however, include an early nineteenth century portrait of a Sturt of Crichel - evidence of ongoing contact between the two branches of the family." Dirty. On three panels. 17th century. Oil on canvas which has an early lining. The canvas is in plane. There are localised areas of damage which have been repaired. The paint layer is stable. Areas of overpaint are slightly mismatched to the original. The painting is compromised by a poor varnish which is matte, yellowed and patchy. There is surface dirt on the varnish. There is wear to the gilding a few scattered losses.
