[Illustration] This is an instance of an ancient family, which,
having gone down in the world, has recovered itself by means of
commercial pursuits, after centuries of comparative obscurity.
Antrobus was sold by Henry Antrobus in the reign of Henry IV., and
repurchased by Edmund Antrobus in 1808; he having proved himself a
descendant of Henry, youngest son of Henry Antrobus above mentioned.
Antrobus of Eaton Hall, in this county, is again a younger branch of
this family.
