Sir Giles Wroughton

Origins

He died 4 June 1597 and was buried at Broad Hinton, where the parish church contains a monument to him. His will, drawn up in May 1597, was not proved until nearly a year after his death. The bequests, which were mainly to relatives and servants, were in some cases considerable: one daughter, Mary, was to have £900. The will mentioned two married daughters, one of them ‘my sweet and well-beloved daughter, the Lady Unton’ (Dorothy, wife of Henry Unton), and four sons. Wroughton asked the executors, his widow and their son Giles, to make arrangements for the disposal of goods, including several satin suits and other clothing which he had left in London. Sir Henry Knyvet, Wroughton’s brother George and his brother-in-law Sir Henry Poole were to act as overseers. The heir, William, was 36 at his father’s death.6
