Humphry Wakefield
Sir Edward Humphry Tyrrell Wakefield, 2nd Baronet FRGS, (born 11 July 1936) is an English baronet and expert on antiques and architecture.
Wakefield has made his career a study of antique furniture and historic restoration. He worked for Christie's of London, and subsequently became director and chairman of antique-dealing firms. In 1982 he bought Chillingham Castle, Northumberland, from the Grey family, of Northumberland, the family of his third wife Catherine, daughter of Lady Mary Grey. He has since restored the ruined castle to a habitable state to house his wide collection of antiquities, from his own collection and those of his relations.
