Henry Baldero

• Mentioned in HCA 13/71:

- In the case of Newcastle coals, HCA 13/71 reveals that there was a cross-North sea trade in sea coal from Newcastle to Holland, in the ship the Catherine. This was a ship owned by Henry Baldero, William Harris, and John Shephard, and originally purchased in Holland.

• "Baldero 1654 to 1726

According to Anthony Norris, Henry Baldero, an English merchant in Holland purchased estates in Barton, including those of the Baispooles, around 1654. These estates eventually passed to Edward Gale Baldero who sold them to the Reverend Stephen Norris in 1726. Henry Baldero died in Holland around 1660 and was buried there. In Barton Turf Church there is a basalt tombstone that bears his coat of arms, but no inscription and it seems likely that he had intended to be buried there. For a fuller account see the transcript of Anthony Norris’s notes.

- EXTRACT FROM ANTHONY NORRIS' NOTES: "During the Usurpation in 1649 Humphrey Jones of London Gent, Robt Swallow and Thos Nelson purchased of the parliamt Trustees the Bishops Palace at Ipswich and diverse Manrs belonging to the See & this Manor being one of them; after the death of John Hall the lease made to him expiring or by some means becoming void Humphrey Jones Gent above mentioned held his first Court for this Manor on the 22 Jan: 1654.
