Shelley of Michelgrove
The Shelley Baronetcy, of Michelgrove in the County of Sussex, was created in the Baronetage of England on 22 May 1611 for John Shelley. The fourth Baronet represented Arundel and Lewes in the House of Commons while the fifth Baronet sat as a Member of Parliament for East Retford and Newark. Furthermore, the sixth Baronet represented Helston and Lewes and the seventh Baronet Gatton, Grimsby and Westminster. Their seat after 1880 was Shobrooke Park, near Crediton in Devon, which had been inherited by Sir John Shelley from his cousin John Henry Tuckfield (d.1880), Sheriff of Devon in 1859. It was formerly called Little Fulford and was destroyed by fire whilst serving as a boys' school in 1945.

Famous quotes containing the words shelley of and/or shelley:
“The man Shelley, in very truth, is not entirely sane, and Shelley’s poetry is not entirely sane either. The Shelley of actual life is a vision of beauty and radiance, indeed, but availing nothing, effecting nothing. And in poetry, no less than in life, he is a beautiful and ineffectual angel, beating in the void his luminous wings in vain.””
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“Every epoch, under names more or less specious, has deified its peculiar errors.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
