Wentworth was the last Englishman to hold this post, for on the 7th of January 1558 he was compelled to surrender Calais to the French, his representations as to the defenceless condition of the fortress having been disregarded by the English Council some years earlier.
The barony of Wentworth was thereafter held by the descendants of this nobleman in conjunction with the earldom of Lovelace.
Paul Wentworth was of puritan sympathies, and he first came into notice by the freedom with which in 1566 he criticized Elizabeth's prohibition of discussion in parliament on the question of her successor.

Near the foot of the heath, in the opposite direction from Hunt's cottage, lived two new friends of Keats who had been introduced to him by Reynolds, and with whom he was soon to become extremely intimate.
Dilke was a young man of twenty-nine, [...] a clerk in the Navy Pay office [...].
Dilke had married young, and built himself, a year or two before Keats knew him, a modest semi-detached house in a good-sized garden near the lower end of Hampstead Heath, at the bottom of what is now John Street; the other part of the same block being built and inhabited by his friend Charles Brown.

Wentworth Dilke, after giving birth in 1850 to her second child, Ashton Dilke, had ‘fallen into a deep decline’; and Charles Dilke, at the age of seven, was handed over to his grandfather’s charge, partly to solace the old widower’s loneliness, partly to relieve the strain on his mother.
Wentworth Dilke’s association in the Prince Consort’s most cherished schemes had brought him on a footing of friendship with the Royal Family; and on July 25th, 1851, his wife wrote that the Queen had come over and talked to her in the Exhibition ground.
Dilke was only fifty-three when his elder grandson was born—yet retired from the business of life, and full of leisure, full of charm, full of experience, full of knowledge, devoted his remaining years to the education of his grandson.

 : :  drb.ie – dublin review of books   : :
Paxman begins to hit his intellectual stride only when he addresses the execution of Charles I. His exploration of the romantic and religious commemoration of this act is interesting and lays something of a foundation for the sentiment of loyalty to the crown still retained by many English people.
In fact Paxman himself gets very close to maudlin over the fate of Charles Stuart: even if he tries to be sniffy about portrayals of the doomed king saying farewell to his children in his cell he only succeeds in sounding as if he is furtively wiping away a tear himself.
The first great stirrer for the cause, in the nineteenth century, was Charles Wentworth Dilke, who, partly offended by Queen Victoria's long absence from public duties after the death of her husband, Albert, launched a campaign against the parasitism of the British royals.

Sonnets are not often addressed by publishers to their clients: but one has been found in the handwriting of Charles Ollier, and almost certainly composed by him, expressing admiration for Keats's work.
The brothers Ollier, it will be remembered, were Shelley's publishers, and for a while also Leigh Hunt's and Lamb's, and Charles was the poetry-loving and enthusiastic brother of the two, and himself a writer of some accomplishment in prose and verse.
Charles Brown, Dilke's contemporary, schoolfellow, and close friend, was a man of Scottish descent born in Lambeth, who had in early youth joined a business set up by an elder brother in Petersburg.
