context_page_description: Lieutenant-General Peregrine Lascelles, also spelt Lascells, was a British military officer from Yorkshire.
  He served in the Spanish theatre of the War of the Spanish Succession, and spent most of the next thirty years on garrison duty in Scotland and England. During the 1745 Jacobite Rising, he fought at the Battle of Prestonpans in September 1745, when the British army was defeated in 15 minutes.
  Although court-martialled, he was exonerated, and promoted Lieutenant-General, serving in North America until 1759. He retired in 1768 and died on 26 March 1772.
context_section_description: The Lascelles family was spread across different towns in Yorkshire, including Northallerton, Durham, Whitby, York, Harewood House and Terrington but were also rooted in a wider network of Nonconformist mercantile interests, with branches in London, Ireland, New England and Barbados. 
  His grandfather, also Peregrine (1619-1658), was one of three brothers, the others being Francis (1612-1667) and Thomas (1624-1697); all of these supported Parliament during the 1639-1652 Wars of the Three Kingdoms, while Francis took part in the trial of Charles I. 
  His father Peregrine (died 1699), inherited land in Lythe, outside Whitby, and married Mary Wigginer, who came from a prominent Whitby merchant's family. Peregrine Lascelles was born in 1685 in the Staithside district; he does not appear to have married.
caption: Lascelles was buried at St Mary's Church, Whitby in 1772, where his monument can still be seen
