 Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford
Wentworth Woodhouse, near Rotherham, a member of an old Yorkshire family, and of Anne, daughter of Sir Robert Atkins of Stowell, Gloucestershire.
A scheme to win over the leaders of the parliament, and a scheme to seize the Tower and free Strafford by force, were both considered by the king; and the revelation of the army plot on May 5 caused the Lords to pass the attainder.
Wentworth had served Charles with what the king felt was a massive degree of loyalty, and Charles had a serious problem with signing Wentworth's death warrant as a matter of conscience.

 Edmund Burke
He became private secretary to the Marquis of Rockingham (Charles Watson-Wentworth), on his becoming Prime Minister, and at the same time entered parliament as a member for Wendover.
Here his eloquence at once made him the reputation of being "the first man in the Commons." The Rockingham administration, however, lived only a few months, and with it terminated his second political employment.
Burke's parliamentary life extended from 1766 to 1794 without intermission; he was successively member of Wentworth, Bristol, and Malton; twice he held the post of Paymaster of the Forces, once under Rockingham and again under Lord North, with the standing of a privy councillor.

 Skylighters, The Web Site of the 225th AAA Searchlight Battalion: Searchlight Sites in the Newcastle Area: TT221 -- ...
The inheritance, via his wife, of her brother's Wentworth money and property in April 1815 saved Sir Ralph Milbanke's financial bacon and the ending of his daughter's marriage the following year rendered the Seaham and Dalden estates as surplus to requirements.
When an Act of Parliament prohibited the working of coal-mines without two outlets from each seam Lady Frances Anne decided that the simplest way to comply with this legislation in the case of Seaham Colliery was to buy Seaton Colliery from the North Hetton and Grange Colliery Company and amalgamate it with Seaham.
Constituency boundaries were also changed and a new seat called 'Seaham' came into existence, but the town itself was only a small part of a largely rural constituency which bordered with the seats of Houghton-le-Spring, Durham and Sedgefield.
