WILLIAM FEILDING, who died in 1724, was the brother of the Earl of Denbigh. His position as Clerk of the Greencloth was an important one; this office was created by Queen Elizabeth I, and the duties involved the running of the Royal Household and its accounts and organising Royal journeys….in itself a complex task as the monarch always travelled with a large retinue.
