In 1646, with the death of his grandson, the third Earl of Essex, the estate fell into co-heiress-ship between the Thynne family, Viscounts Weymouth and subsequently Marquesses of Bath, and the Shirley family (whose papers are separately noticed and bear the PRONI reference D/3531).
The papers of the Bath estates are held at the seat of the Marquess of Bath at Longleat, Wiltshire.
In the absence of a major Bath estate archive in PRONI, it is fortunate that PRONI holds the papers of one Bath agent, B.B. Trench, which are by way of something of an apologia pro vita sua, or at least his version of his record as an agent, for a prospective employer.

The Marquess was furious at this disruption of the family harmony, or indeed, of the whole family decorum and respectability.
