WRAXALL, Sir Nathaniel, 1st Baronet, of Wraxall

[Robert Jewell]

He married Jane Lascelles, daughter of Peter Lascelles, but I cannot find how he connects to the Lascelles family.

Anybody know?

According to Stirnet.com

Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall of Wraxall (Somerset), 1st Bart (d 07.11.1831) m. (30.03.1789) Jane Lascelles (d 09.08.1839, dau of Peter Lascelels of Knights House)

 Not sure if that is a spelling mistake with Peter surname.

In the preface to "The Historical and the Posthumous Memoirs of Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall" (see electronic pages numbered 30 and 31 in https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/The_historical_and_the_posthumous_memoirs_of_Sir_Nathaniel_William_Wraxall%2C_1772-1784%3B_ed.%2C_with_notes_and_additional_chapters_from_the_author%27s_unpublished_ms._%28IA_historicalposthu01wrax%29.pdf), it is stated that: 'In 1789 Wraxall married a Miss Lascelles, who is described as follows in the " Biographical Dictionary of Living Authors," evidently from information supplied by the husband himself : —" Jane, eldest daughter of Peter Lascelles, Esq., of Knights, in Hertfordshire, descended from the ancient family of Lascelles of Mount Grace, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, a branch of which family has been since raised to the peerage, first in the person of Edwin Lascelles, created Baron of Harewood, and since of Henry, successively created Baron and Earl of that name." ' It therefore appears that the family connection with the Earls of Harewood exists, although I have not been able to find it.
