Warwick Herbert Draper (1873-1926) famously lived at Kelmscott House, William Morris's old home between 1910 and 1915. He became heavily involved in the Hammersmith movement and his interest in town planning inspired his two books, 'Chiswick' published in 1923 and 'Hammersmith A Study in Town History published 1913'. Draper is often viewed as a mediator of Morris in his efforts to secure and maintain public access to private space. This perhaps part explains his interest in the construction of the Eiffel Tower for the Parisian.

Both these were granted to Elizabeth Cook by the Ecclesiastical Courts, who were responsible for granting Probates and Letters of Administration until January 1858.
Nathaniel Cook was a midshipman in the Royal Navy. He drowned when his ship, The Thunderer, sank in a great storm in the West Indies in 1780. His Grant is poignantly marked "Sworn under forty pounds Kings Pay".
James Cook was drowned in rather mysterious circumstances off the Isle of Wight in January 1794. His Grant is marked "Sworn under Five Thousand pounds".

Provenance: Mrs Elizabeth Cook and thence by descent to John Leach Bennett, Mrs Cook's Executor and residuary beneficiary, the great, great grandfather of the vendor (?).

539. THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GIVEN BY MRS ELIZABETH COOK to John Leach Bennett, the great, great grandfather of the vendor, dated January 11th 1832, whereby she authorises him to collect the Admiralty pension awarded to Captain Cook. She signs this and seals it in black sealing wax with the coat of arms which applied for and which was granted in 1785 (six years after Captain Cook's death).
As a woman, this coat of arms is in the form of a lozenge, but strictly speaking the wording of the Grant of Arms did not entitle her to use it, as the arms were to be borne by James's descendants and "to be placed on a monument or otherwise in his memory".
As recorded previously James Cook, her eldest son, was drowned in mysterious circumstances off The Needles in January 1794.
£1000-2000
540. ADMIRAL ISAAC SMITH: A WILLIAM IV MOURNING RING set with a central rose-cut diamond surrounded by pearls, on a yellow gold shank with black enamel decoration, inscribed "Rear Adml Isaac Smith OB 3 July 1831 At. 78".
Provenance: Presumably John Leach Bennett and thence by descent to F.S. Maton, Esq. the grandfather of the vendor.
Admiral Isaac Smith travelled with Cook on the first voyage aged 15. He lived with his first cousin, once removed, Elizabeth Cook at Clapham from around 1795 until 1827 when he inherited the Merton Abbey Estate and they lived together there until his death in 1831. At this point Elizabeth Cook went back to her home at Clapham. It is clear from Isaac Smith's will that his possessions remained at Clapham whilst they lived at Merton. According to his will dated December 28th 1827 " … to my dearest cousin Mrs Elizabeth Cook of Clapham in Surry(sic) 200 guineas for a Ring & Mourning & all or any part of my Effects in Plate, Books or Furniture at her house in Clapham she may chuse(sic) to accept as a mark of my great respect and regard for her knowing that she does not wish a larger legacy".
The present ring bears the hallmark for Sheffield 1836, which may indicate that it was commissioned by John Leach Bennett, Mrs Cook's residuary beneficiary, following her death in 1835.
