| Abstract: | This case study of the mechanics of patronage as operated during the early to mid-19th century, uses the correspondence of the 5th Duke of Richmond held at West Sussex Record Office. The paper concentrates upon just one patron, the Duke of Richmond, and one recipient of that patronage, Sir William Burnett, a naval physician who was part resident in Chichester with a son who gained, through the duke’s patronage, the living at Boxgrove. The intention is to gain a better understanding of the use and value of patronage as it operated at the microcosmic level, offering detail of the underlying unwritten obligations that were taken on by both the patron and the beneficiary and how this was understood by the two parties involved. | ||||
