Luke Lillingstone

Brigadier-General Luke Lillingstone (1653 – 6 April 1713) was a British Army officer who accompanied William of Orange to England in 1688.

His maternal uncle, Colonel Thomas Dolman, served with his father in the Anglo-Dutch Brigade.

After fighting against Jacobite forces in Ireland, Lillingstone received his first command in 1692, when he took over the colonelcy of Jonathan Foulkes's Regiment on the latter's death.

The third Lillingstone's Regiment was duly raised at the King's Head, Bird Street, Lichfield on 25 March 1705.

Lillingstone died on 6 April 1713, and a monument to his memory was erected in the parish church of All Saints, North Ferriby.
