James Compton, 3rd Earl of Northampton - Stash of Papers

Was the "cache of papers was discovered at the family home of Castle Ashby House in 1977" as stated in paragraph 4 or should we prefer "the discovery of a cache of papers at Castle Ashby in 1978" in the final paragraph? Haynesta (talk) 18:45, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good spot; the papers were discovered in 1977, auctioned at Christies in 1978. Corrected. Robinvp11 (talk) 16:55, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
