Elizabeth Hamilton (3) (1928–)

Elizabeth, Lady Hamilton, is an historical biographer. She married Sir Richard Hamilton, 9th baronet, who inherited Walton Hall in 1961. There Lady Hamilton discovered a vast cache of 19th-century papers that she used as the basis of a book about the previous owners of the house called The Warwickshire Scandal (1999). Many of her other books concern 17th-century figures such as Queen Henrietta Maria and Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine.
