Dudley North (1684–1730);
Thence by descent:
Until sold with Glemham Hall in 1923 to Captain John Murray Cobbold (1897–1944) and his wife Lady Blanche (1897-1988);
Thence by descent.
Between 1712-1722 Dudley North carried out alterations at Glemham, so it is possible these mirrors were acquired during this period.
