Robert Tyrwhit

Notes:

Sheriff of Lincolnshire 1519-20, 1523-4, 1540-1.

Entertained Henry VIII and his court in Kettleby on 8 and 9 Oct 1541. According to Notices and Remains of the Family of Tyrwhitt (citation details below), Tyrwhit "hanged the trees on the way from Kettleby to Brigg with carcases of sheep and beasts (oxen), to show that he could feed all comers."

He is said by some to have been a vice-admiral of England under Henry VIII, but as Robert Philip Tyrwhitt (citation details below) points out, he is more likely to have been one of many titular "vice-admirals" for a piece of his nearby Lincolnshire coast, a distinction shared by many armigerous men whose seats adjoined important pieces of coast.

According to Maddison's 1904 Lincolnshire Pedigrees, he and Maud Tailboys had a daughter Matilda who, according to William Addams Reitwiesner, was an ancestor of Camilla Parker-Bowles:
