THIS ENTRY REQUIRES GREATER SYNTHESIS AND COMPLETION OF CLIENT LIST




Suggested links


See Robert Raworth will
See Francis Raworth will (elder brother of Robert Raworth)


To do


  • Look again at the social and other links between the Raworth and the Trumbull families

-cf. BL, Add. 72439 f. 139, Raworth (Robert). of Dover. Elegy, distich and anagram on E. Trumbull 1624 Engl. and Lat.)

  • Look again at the Weckherlin and Raworth family links. Have writers misattributed the John Raworth stationer link to Weckherlin, or are John Raworth, stationer of London, and Robert Raworth, printer of London, related to the Raworths of Dover? What of Robert Raworth "merchant of London"?


  • Complete the Raworth client list. How does the client mix compare with client lists developed by other legal historians for C17th lawyers?


  • Complete transcription of Robert Raworth will


  • What happened to his Norfolk located brother James Raworth?


  • Follow up background on Jeremy Elwes of Gray's Inn, Robert Raworth's son-in-law. He accumulated estates in Lincolnshire, and Robert Raworth appears on one of the related estate document (see Lincolnshire Archives Committee, Archivists' Report 20, 17th March 1968-15th March 1968, p. 11, http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/upload/public/attachments/552/report20.pdf, viewed 05/10/11)

- The father of Jeremy Elwes of Gray's Inn, was Jeremy Elwes of Roxby, Lincolnshire. His wife, Mary Morley, was the daughter of one of the six clerks of Chancery

- See C 10/14/105 Sir William Monson knight v Philip [Smythe] Viscount Strangford, John Fotherly, Robert Raworth and Thomas Marsh: manor of Grafton Underwood, Northants. Bill and three answers 1652

  • Look at connection of Bartholomew Hall, of Middle Temple, Attorney General of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Robert Raworth, who appear together between 1651/52 and 1658 in several related estate transactions concerning John Holles, 2nd Earl of Clare. Hall and Raworth are described in one document as "tenants to the praecipe" (University of Nottingham: Ne D 37 : 'Exemplification of a common recovery of properties in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire; Jan. 1651/2 ')

- Bartholomew Hall appears to have been in favour with the parliamentarians, as seen by his name in a list of visitors to the University of Oxford listed in 'An Ordinance for the Visitation and Reformation of the University of Oxford and the several Colledges and Halls therein', May 1647.[1]
- Bartholomew Hall was Treasurer of Middle Temple in 1650[2]
- "Hall, Bartholomew (1592-?); matr. Hart Hall 1611.6.14 age 18, BA 1615.11.7;bar-at-law middle Temple 1623, bencher 1649, attorney-general to the duchy of Lancaster] [Not found in DNB]"[3]
- Provisional dates for Bartholomew Hall as Attorney General of the Duchy of Lancaster are 1649-1654, succeeded by Nicholas Lechmere, and proceeded by Bulstrode Whitlocke[4]


Biography


Robert Raworth’s family was from Dover in East Kent, just a few miles from the Oxenden and Master family homes in Deane and East Langdon. The family had a strong legal tradition, and an interest in scholarship. The youngest of three brothers, the lawyer Robert appears to have been the most commercially successful. The same age as Elizabeth Dalyson, he provided legal services to the Dallison and to the Oxenden family for more than forty years (1631-1675).[5]

The family interest in scholarship is seen in bequests of books by his father, Francis Raworth senior, to two of his sons, and the bequest of a Life of Martyrs to his daughter;[6] in Robert Raworth’s adolescent poetry;[7] and in the marriage in 1616 (TBC) of his older sister Elizabeth to a German diplomat and poet, the Stuttgart born Georg Rodolph Weckherlin (b.1584, d.1653).[8] Weckherlin appears to have lived with the Raworth family in Dover for part of three years he spent in England sometime between 1607 and 1615.[9] In his own will Robert Raworth made explicit admiring reference to his father-in-law, "the Learned and ever to be revered S:r Henry Spelman Kn:t."[10]

There were at least three lawyers in the immediate family: Robert himself; his elder brother, Francis (junior); and Robert’s father, also named Francis (senior). His second brother, Thomas, was a rector in Norfolk. Robert was admitted to Gray’s Inn on July 20th 1633.[11] It is not clear where and when his elder brother and father received their legal training, but both practiced law in Kent. Francis (junior)’s son, also named Francis, was an exact legal contemporary of Elizabeth Dalyson’s son, Maximilian. Both were admitted to Gray’s Inn on the same day in May 1650.[12]

He married Katherine Spelman, from Haydon, Norfolk, a family with strong legal connections.[13] Many Spelmans had been admitted to Gray’s Inn throughout the sixteenth and early seventeenth century. Whilst Katherine's father, Sir Henry Spelman, was a Norfolk historian and antiquarian who briefly attended an Inn of Court, others were practising lawyers. For example, Clement Spelman (b.1598, d.1679), the youngest son of Sir Henry Spelman, was a Gray's Inn lawyer, who was appointed a Baron of the Exchequer in 1663, and several of Sir Henry's daughters married lawyers.[14]

Raworth's brother-in-law, Ralph Whitfield (alt. Whitfeld, Whitfeild), later Sir Ralph Whitfield, was another Kentish Gray's Inn man, from Tenterden, Kent. In November 1632, the year before Robert Raworth's admission to Gray's Inn, Whitfield was appointed serjeant-at-law. At the time of Raworth's admission in mid 1633 Whitfield was already a reader at the Inn. Two years later, in 1635, Charles I appointed him King's serjeant.[15] That same year, on October 3rd 1635, he was knighted at Hampton Court.[16] Though not appointed to the Bench, he frequently presided at the York assizes.[17]

Robert Raworth probably knew Whitfield prior to his admission to Gray's Inn since Whitfield and Raworth were both witnesses to Sir Maximilian Dallison's will, made in late 1630, with Whitfield's signature in the most prominent, and Raworth's in the least prominent, position.[18] It is unlikely to be chance that two probably related Whitfields were admitted to Gray's inn on the same day as Robert Raworth in July 1633 - Ralph Whitfield, the third son of Ralph Whitfield, Esq., specifically identified in the admission's register as "reader of Gray's Inn", and William Whitfield, son and heir of William Whitfield of Snodland, Esq.[19] Robert Raworth's also name appears as a witness on a deed of revocation dated 25th June 1634 related to Kent land, immediately after that of that of the lead signator "Raphe Whitfeld".[20]

It is possible, though speculation, that Raworth clerked for Whitfield early in his career. When Sir Ralph Whitfield draw up his will, in September 1645,"sick and weak of body", he lamented the death of his brother-in-law, Sir John Spelman (b.1594,d.1643), and depradations to his own estate, but anticipated that his surviving brother-in-law, Robert Raworth Esquire, would assist his wife and eldest son.[21]

Robert’s legal career progressed through the troubled 1640s, and 1650s, and reached its peak in the 1660s. Made barrister-at-law in 1640, a position James Master also achieved at Gray’s Inn, he progressed to ancient in 1658, and bencher in 1664.[22] By the 1660s a partial reconstruction of his client list shows county gentry and nobility from across England, well beyond Kent and London. He acquired an estate in Berkshire towards the end of his career. Yet, though commercially and socially successful in terms of his client list, he was not knighted.

Surviving records of Robert Raworth's legal activities are scattered across many county archives, and show him acting as a lawyer for a wide range of gentry and aristocratic clients, sometimes with other lawyers and sometimes alone. It is hard to form a balanced view of his legal practice given the probably tendency for records relating to estate business to survive more frequently than those related to more commercial matters. Certainly those Raworth records in county archives are heavily oriented towards estate business, such as mortgages and marriage agreements, in which land played a key role. For example, he and Anthony Crofts appear in a bargain and sale of land at Stowe, Cornwall, in 1652, with the other party being John Grenville, heir of Basil Grenville.[23] It is only through painstaking unpicking of Dallison and Oxenden Chancery records held at the National Archives, in combination with inspection of Sir George Oxenden's correspondence at the British Library, that the role of Robert Raworth becomes clear in a number of lengthy and important commercial cases.[24]

Normally industrious, organised and positive, Raworth’s character had a melancholy side. Writing to Sir George Oxenden in April 1663 from Gray’s Inn he wrote unusually about personal matters. Referring to the fact that he himself had never been overseas he expressed admiration for Sir George, who had spent more than half his life outside England. He wrote of illness ("being afflicted w:th my Ould dissease y:e Stone") and his fears of death.[25] In 1666 he paid a fine to Gray's Inn in lieu of XX, giving ill health as the cause.[26] He died in 1676.[27]

When writing to his friend and client Sir George Oxenden, Robert Raworth gave his address as "Gray's Inn".[28] He appears to have acquired a property independent of chambers by the mid 1660s, since a Robert Raworth is recorded in the 1666 Hearth Tax returns in a property with eleven hearths, close to Lincoln's Inn.[29]

In 1670 Robert Raworth purchased the manor of Throcking in Hertfordshire, which passed to his daughter Frances Elwes on his death in c.1676. At her own death in 1678 the manor passed to her son, Robert's grandson, Jeremy Elwes.


Father & brothers


Robert Raworth's father and elder brother were prominent in the administration of Dover and the Cinque Ports, as town clerks of Dover, for a period of more than fifty years (1601-1657), with good connections in London to court, legal and commercial circles [TBC]. The town clerk role appears to have involved legal as well as commercial and administrative tasks.

Francis Raworth (senior) appears to have had a role as as an undersheriff and as an attorney prior to his appointment as Dover town clerk. In Kent records he is undersheriff for [Dover: TBC] in 1599. In the records of the Kent Quarter Sessions of July 1601, which were held in Maidstone, he acted as attorney for the defence of a gentleman client. He was probably appointed Dover town clerk in the same year.

Robert’s elder brother, Francis Raworth (junior) was Recorder of the Admiralty Court and Chancery for the Cinque ports, as well as town clerk for Dover. It has not been established when he took over from this father as town clerk.[30]
