George Ruggle (1575-1622), author of Ignoramus, a Latin college farce with English and French passages, created one of the most notable academic plays of the English Renaissance, adapted from Giambattista della Porta’s, 'La Trappolaria' (1596). It premiered at Clare College, Cambridge, on March 8, 1615, for King James I’s visit. After Ruggle’s death, Nicholas Ferrar praised him as a “Brother of the [Virginia] Company,” noting his three years of service there. In his will, Ruggle bequeathed £100 for the education of American Indian children in Virginia.

A seated portrait of Humphrey Skelton looking pensive, hands clenched in his lap. He is described by Bromley as an 'upholder' (i.e. upholsterer). According to 'Upbraid', the newsletter of the Worshipful Company of Upholders (Issue 13, Summer 2009), a Humphrey Skelton was admitted as a Freeman in 1699 and worked as an upholsterer at least until 1734. They believe this is the earliest portrait of one of their members. The BM quotes a 'Daily Courant' report of 21 July 1727, announcing the sale of three farms 'under a Commission of Bankruptcy awarded against Humphrey Skelton, upholder'.
