It has seemed appropriate to designate the collection as the VANNECK PAPERS even though it contains little that relates directly to the Vanneck family. Most of the surviving papers concern the administration of the Heveningham estate. A subsidiary and self-contained section consists of papers of the Arcedeckne family, formerly of Glevering Hall, Suffolk, and of their estates there and in Jamaica, c.1744-1848. (Charles Andrew Vanneck, 3rd Baron Huntingfield, married Louisa, only daughter of Andrew Arcedeckne, in 1839).
