Hedley Hope-Nicholson (born William Hedley Kenelm Nicholson, July 1888–18 July 1969), barrister and littérateur, and his wife Jaqueline Louise Rachel (d. 1972), daughter of Adrian Charles Francis Hope, descended from the Earls of Hopetoun,^[1] were notable in English artistic and literary circles in the first half of the twentieth century.^[2] Hedley Nicholson (he joined his patronymic with that of his wife by deed-poll) counted among various eccentric hobbies a keen interest in King Charles I and was editor of the quarterly magazine of the Society of King Charles the Martyr. He kept a relic from the King's coffin and a piece of the shirt he wore on the scaffold in a box in the consecrated chapel in their London family home, More House, in Tite Street, Chelsea. His other great passion was for the Russian ballet. He was the author of The Mindes Delight: or Variety of Memorable Matters Worthy of Observation (1928).

Jaqueline Hope-Nicholson was a genealogist, heraldic artist and impassioned costumier dealing with vast outdoor pageants and innumerable amateur theatricals but her greatest interest was in the Stuart kings, largely Charles II.

Their children were the artist Mary Lauretta Jaqueline Desirée Valentine Esmé ('Lauretta', 1919–2005) who married the artist Jean Hugo in 1949 and worked as an assistant editor on the Burlington Magazine and with Richard Buckle on his publication 'Ballet'; Marie-Jaqueline Dorothea Beatrice Alexina Romaine Adriana (9 August 1922 – 17 May 2010; married in 1945 war correspondent (Herbert) Maurice Lancaster and had two daughters), who compiled Brian Howard: Portrait of a Failure in 1968, about Brian Howard; and Charles Felix Otho Victor Gabriel John Adrian ('Felix', 1921–1990), genealogist and antiquarian.

John Betjeman wrote a libellous couplet about Hope-Nicholson and his (at the time unusual for a man) habit of using make-up:{{fact|date=September 2017}}
