Ah ha, Suzi, you've got it!  It is Henry Wriothesley, the third Earl 
of Southampton.  You can find his portrait in the portrait section of 
the  http://www.boughtonhouse.org.uk/ page or I think this will take 
you directly there:

An interesting piece of trivia about this portrait...it is supposedly 
the first English portrait painted with a cat in it.

Cheers,
Danielle
