Fine Georgian gold (18ct) and black enamel memorial ring, inscribed - 'Genl. Philip Honywood - Died 20th Feb. 1785'. General Philip Honywood (1710 - 1785) of Marks Hall, Coggeshall, Essex and Howgill Castle, West Morland, was a courageous British Army Officer and M.P. He was a giant of a man of his time at 6ft 3 inches tall. At the age of twenty-five, he joined the Cavalry as a Cornet in the 11th Dragoons and by 1743, was a Lieutenant Colonel. In 1743 he fought at the Battle of Dettingen during the War of Austrian Succession, where King George III personally led his troops on the field against the French (the last time a British Monarch did so). Honywood distinguished himself having received twenty-three broadsword wounds and two musket ball wounds (which were never removed) and survived. He was afterwards promoted to a Lieutenant-Colonel and later became a General and Governor of Kingston-upon-Hull in the Jacobite Rising of 1745 where he was again seriously wounded at the skirmish at Clifton in 1745. He was elected Member for Parliament for Appleby in 1754, which he held until a year before his death. In 1782 he was appointed Colonel of the 3rd Dragoon Guards which he held until his death in 1785. His Estate at Marks Hall generated £6,000 per annum, which he left to his cousin. A fine portrait of him on horseback by Thomas Gainsborough painted in 1765 at Marks Hall survives
