• Robert Wroth was in his late twenties when he inherited the manor of Durants, in Enfield, which had been the family residence since the early 15th century, with the greater part of his father’s lands in Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex and Somerset. In 1518 he was granted livery of the lands in Somerset, Richard Hawkes entering into bond with him for the payment of what was due to the crown.4
• Wroth had been educated at Gray’s Inn, where he was elected Autumn reader in 1528 but did not read, and it was through the law that he made his way in the world. He was retained as counsel by his influential neighbour Sir Thomas Lovell I, from whom shortly before Lovell’s death in 1524 he was given the reversion of the stewardship of Cheshunt, and whose will included a bequest to him of a silver cup and £5: the young gentlemen then in Lovell’s household included Wroth’s stepson Francis Goodere. Wroth’s most important appointment was as attorney-general of the duchy of Lancaster in 1531; his other offices included stewardships of lands belonging to the city of London and to the crown. Several of his forbears had been knights of the shire for Middlesex, and as a rising lawyer Wroth was probably able to add crown support to his own claim to be returned as senior knight in 1529 and may have had a hand in the choice of his colleague Hawkes. He became a friend of Cromwell whom he advised in 1532 on a point of law; on 14 Feb. 1534 Cromwell and Wroth were jointly appointed to the stewardship of Westminster abbey, an office which Cromwell had held alone since the previous September. Wroth’s name was included in a list drawn up by the minister on the back of a letter of December 1534 and thought to be of Members with a particular but unknown interest in the treasons bill then on its passage through Parliament.5
• Wroth died in his mid forties and while still a Member of the Parliament of 1529, in which he is not known to have been replaced for the last session.He made his will on 8 May 1535, ‘every day looking for the messenger of God’, who summoned him three days later. He bequeathed his best grey horse to Cromwell and a black colt to Sir William Fitzwilliam I, his chief in the duchy of Lancaster, while two thirds of all his lands went to his wife for the education of his children ‘in virtue and learning’. In accordance with the will Wroth’s ward Edward Lewknor married his daughter Dorothy.6

• Sir Thomas Wroth (c.1518 – 9 October 1573)[1] was an English courtier and politician, a supporter of the Protestant Reformation.
• Robert Wroth, his father, was attorney of the duchy of Lancaster, and one of the commissioners appointed to inquire into Thomas Wolsey's possessions in 1529. He sat for Middlesex in the Reformation parliament (1529–1535), and died in 1536, leaving issue by his wife Jane, daughter of Sir Thomas Hawte (died 1505) and Isabel Frowyk, four sons and two daughters.[2][3]
• Thomas, the eldest son, was a ward of the king, and was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, but seems to have taken no degree,[4] and in 1536 was admitted student of Gray's Inn. On 4 October of that year, the right of his wardship and marriage was granted to Thomas Cromwell. In 1539 Sir Richard Rich paid Cromwell three hundred marks for the right of disposing of Wroth in marriage, and then provided for his third daughter, Mary, by betrothing her to Wroth. Wroth was granted livery of his lands on 24 April 1540, and in that and the following year Rich secured for his daughter's husband the manors of Highbury (forfeited by Cromwell) and of Beymondhall, Hertfordshire, and lands in Cheshunt, Wormley, and Enfield, belonging to various dissolved monasteries.
• .... etc.
• He left issue by his wife Mary Rich, daughter of Richard Rich, 1st Baron Rich, six or seven sons and three or four daughters. The eldest son, Sir Robert Wroth, succeeded him. The second son, Thomas, was admitted student of the Inner Temple in November 1564. He acquired wealth in the practice of the law, and settled at Blundenhall, Boxley, Kent, where he died in 1610. He married Joan, second daughter and heir of John or Thomas Bulmer or Bulman, and left, besides other issue, Sir Thomas Wroth (1584–1672) and Sir Peter Wroth (died 1644), a member of the Inner Temple and scholar, from whose collections John Collinson derived the account of the family printed in his Somerset, and whose grandson John eventually succeeded to the Somerset property.

• Wroth, Thomas (1516-1573) by Albert Frederick Pollard
• WROTH, Sir THOMAS (1516–1573), politician, born in 1516, claimed as his ancestor William de Wrotham [q. v.], the judge, whose alleged descendant, John, was sheriff of London in 1351, lord mayor in 1361, and represented Middlesex in many parliaments of Edward III's reign (Official Return, i. 170–89). John's son, Sir Thomas Wroth, married Maud, daughter and heir of Thomas Durant (d. 1348), who built Durrants in Enfield, afterwards the seat of the Wroth families. Robert Wroth, father of the subject of this article, was attorney of the duchy of Lancaster, and one of the commissioners appointed to inquire into Wolsey's possessions in 1529. He sat for Middlesex in the Reformation parliament (1529–35), and died in 1536, leaving issue by his wife Jane, daughter of Sir Thomas Hawte, four sons and two daughters.
• Thomas, the eldest son, was a ward of the king, and was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, but seems to have taken no degree, and in 1536 was admitted student of Gray's Inn. On 4 Oct. of that year the right of his wardship and marriage was granted to Cromwell (Letters and Papers, xi. 943 [6]). In 1539 Sir Richard Rich (afterwards first Baron Rich) [q. v.] paid Cromwell three hundred marks for the right of disposing of Wroth in marriage, and then provided for his third daughter, Mary, by betrothing her to Wroth. Wroth was granted livery of his lands on 24 April 1540, and in that and the following year Rich secured for his daughter's husband the manors of Highbury (forfeited by Cromwell) and of Beymondhall, Hertfordshire, and lands in Cheshunt, Wormley, and Enfield, belonging to various dissolved monasteries (Letters and Papers, XIV. ii. 324, XV. 613 [9], 733 [64], XVI. 727). On 18 Dec. 1544 Wroth was returned to parliament as one of the knights of the shire for Middlesex, and in the following year, through Cranmer's influence, it is said, was appointed gentleman of the chamber to Prince Edward. He retained that post during Edward VI's reign, was knighted on 22 Feb. 1546–7, and was one of the young king's principal favourites. In September 1547 he was sent to the Protector in Scotland with Edward's letters congratulating him on his victory at Pinkie, and in July 1548 was one of the witnesses against Bishop Gardiner for his sermon in St. Paul's. He probably represented Middlesex in the parliament that sat from 1547 to 1552, but the returns are wanting. After Somerset's fall Wroth was on 15 Oct. 1549 appointed one of the four principal gentlemen of the privy chamber, his fidelity to Warwick's interests being secured by doubling the ordinary salary of 50l. On 24 July 1550 he was granted the manors of Bardfield, Chigwell, and West Ham in Essex (Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1547–80, p. 28, Addenda, 1547–65, p. 412), and on 14 April 1551 he was made joint lord lieutenant with Paget of Middlesex. On 29 Nov. following he was present at the disputation on the Sacrament held in Cecil's house (Dixon, Church Hist. iii. 388). Somerset's second fall brought Wroth further grants; on 22 Jan. 1551–2, the day of the Protector's execution, he was sent to Sion House to report on the number and ages of the duke's sons, daughters, and servants, and on 7 June following was given a twenty-one years' lease of Sion. This he is said to have surrendered on an assurance that Edward designed it for some public charity. In 1552, and again in 1553, he was one of the commissioners for the lord-lieutenancy of Middlesex, and in February 1552–3 he was again knight of the shire for Middlesex in Edward's last parliament. He was not a member of the privy council, but was one of those whom Edward VI proposed in March 1551–2 to ‘call into commission,’ his name appearing on the committees of the council which were to execute penal laws and proclamations and to examine into the ‘state of all the courts,’ especially the new courts of augmentations, first-fruits and tenths, and wards (Lit. Remains of Edward VI, pp. 403, 499–501). In December 1552 he was placed on a further commission for the recovery of the king's debts, and in the same year was one of the ‘adventurers’ in the voyage to Morocco (Hakluyt, II. ii. 8; cf. art. Wyndham, Thomas, (1510?–1553)).
• Wroth was until July 1553 in close attendance upon Edward VI, who is said to have died in his arms. He signed the king's letters patent limiting the crown to Lady Jane Grey, but apparently took no overt part in Northumberland's insurrection. He was sent to the Tower on 27 July, but was soon released. In January 1553–4, however, when Suffolk was meditating his second rising, Lord John Grey had an interview with Wroth, and urged him to join. Gardiner proposed his arrest on the 27th, but Wroth escaped to the continent. For this step he is said to have obtained royal licence, which was probably due to the intercession of his father-in-law, Lord Rich (Chron. Queen Jane, p. 184; Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1547–80, p. 57). He remained abroad during the rest of Mary's reign, principally at Strasburg and Frankfort, giving material help to the protestant exiles. Immediately on Elizabeth's accession he returned to England, and on 29 Dec. 1558 was elected knight of the shire for Middlesex, which he again represented in the parliament of 1562–3. On 21 Aug. 1559 he was appointed commissioner to visit the dioceses of Ely and Norwich. In June 1562 he was nominated a special commissioner to consult with the lord-deputy on the government of Ireland (instructions in Lambeth MS. 614, ff. 143, 145, 149), but does not seem to have gone to Dublin till February 1563–4; he was recalled at his own request in August. In 1569 he was commissioner for musters in Middlesex and for the lord-lieutenancy of London, and on 1 Sept. 1571 was sent to take an inventory of Norfolk's goods in the Charterhouse.
• Wroth died on 9 Oct. 1573. He left issue by his wife Mary Rich six or seven sons and three or four daughters. The eldest son, Sir Robert (1540?–1606) [q. v.], succeeded him. The second son, Thomas, was admitted student of the Inner Temple in November 1564 (Cooke, Admissions, p. 56), and was Lent reader in 1601, being fined 20l. for neglecting to read his lecture (Inner Temple Records, i. 440, 442). He acquired wealth in the practice of the law, and settled at Blundenhall, Boxley, Kent, where he died in 1610. He married Joan, second daughter and heir of John or Thomas Bulmer or Bul- man, and left, besides other issue, Sir Thomas Wroth (1584–1672) [q. v.] and Sir Peter Wroth (d. 1644), a member of the Inner Temple and ‘a gentleman of great learning, from whose collections’ Collinson derived the account of the family printed in his ‘Somerset,’ and whose grandson John eventually succeeded to the Somerset property.
