Provenance:
Nearly all the Lushington papers, portraits and other pictures eventually passed to Susan Lushington and were kept at Kingley where she lived until her death. Following Susan’s death in 1953, the archive passed to her nephew and executor Mr Norris. When Mr Norris died, the collection passed to his widow who cared for it at her home in Richmond. In November 2005, the archive was passed by her son Richard Norris to David Taylor for deposit in Surrey History Centre.
