==Biography==
The daughter of Sir Allen Apsley, Lieutenant of the Tower of London, and Lady Lucy St. John, she was married on 3 July 1638 in St. Andrew Holborn, London England to Colonel John Hutchinson, one of those who signed the death-warrant of King Charles I of England, but who afterwards protested against the assumption of supreme power by Oliver Cromwell. She has a place in literature for her biography of her husband ''Memoirs Of The Life Of Colonel Hutchinson''. In the book she records that he had many notable victories in that conflict, including his victory at Shelford Manor on 27 October 1645. In this battle he defeated his kin Colonel Philip Stanhope. Stanhope the fifth son of the Earl of Chesterfield, was killed during the engagement. Lucy writes of this in the book, she may have even seen the battle as Owthorpe was only a few miles away from the battle site. After the English Civil War John Hutchinson retired to his estate of Owthorpe. With the restoration he was arrested but not tried of the regicide of King Charles I for which he was imprisoned in Sandown castle Kent, England. Lucy went before the House of Lords to gain his release, but to no avail.〔
