A 1784 caricature portrait of Sir Cecil Wray , 13th Baronet ( 1734 – 1805) was an English land owner and politician. In 1760, he built a Gothic castellated building, named Summer Castle, after his wife ( Esther Summers) but it has always been generally referred to as Fillingham Castle. He contested and won the Parliamentary seat of East Retford in 1768. In this portrait he is referred to as Sir James Wray (probably in error)
