Humphrey [Waldo] Sibthorp (1744–1815) commission
10 July 2017
On display in our lobby is a militia commission for Humphrey [Waldo] Sibthorp (1744–1815) signed by King George III and other British notables. As we celebrate our independence, it's interesting to see the signature of the king we left behind. For more information about the Sibthorp Family papers, HI Archives collection no. 38, contact our Archivists.
