ROBERT CHICHELE, the second son of Thomas, was a Citizen and Grocer, and lived in the Parish of St. James Garlyke Hythe in the City of London. By his great Industry and Application to Business he arrived, with a very fair Character, to great Wealth and Importance amongst his Fellow-Citizens. He was contemporary with, and the intimate Friend of, that eminent Citizen and Merchant Sir Richard Whittington, whom he greatly resembled in his Knowlege of Trade, as well as in Acts of Charity and Munificence.
He had an Estate and a Country House at Rumford in Essex, where, in the Year 1410, he contributed largely to rebuilding the Chapel, (which was a Chapel of Ease to Horn-Church) and obtaining for it, by means of a Composition with the Warden and Fellows of New College, who are the Patrons, the Privileges of Sepulture and Cemetery, for the Use of the Parishioners of Horn-Church that were wont to frequent that Chapel.
In the Year 1428, he gave to the Parish of St. Stephen Walbrook one Plot of Ground containing 208 Feet and a half in Length, and 66 in Breadth, whereupon to build their new Church, and for their Church-Yard. In the next Year he laid the first Stone of the new Church, and gave 100/. more to the said Work, and bore the Charges of all the Timber-work on the Procession Way, and laid the Lead upon it at his own Cost. He also gave all the Timber for the Roofing of the two side Isles, and paid for the Carriage of it.
Besides many other charitable Legacies, too numerous to be here recited, he gives by his last Will, dated 17 Dec. 1438, several Tenements in the Parish of St. Antholins to the Master, or Warden, and the College of the Blessed Virgin, St. Thomas the Martyr, and Edward the Confessor, of Higham-Ferrers, (which his Brother the Arch-Bishop had founded ) that the said Warden etc;, should pray for the Souls of Thomas and Agnes his Father and Mother ; Elizabeth, Agnes, and Agnes his Wives ; William Chichele his Brother, and Beatrice his Wife. It is said by Weever that he ordered, by his Testament, that, on his Birth-day, a competent Dinner should be ordained for 2400 poor Men Householders of the City of London, and every Man to have two-pence in Money. But the Copy of his Will, now in the Library of ALL SOULS COLLEGE, takes no Notice of this Legacy.
He was Sheriff of London in the Year 1403 ; was Lord Mayor, for the first time, in the Year 1411 ; and again, in the Year 1421 ; and had the Honour of Knighthood conferred upon him. SIR ROBERT CHICHELE died in the Year 1440-, and if we may believe Stow, and if the politive Directions in his Will were observed, was buried in the Church of St. James Garlyke Hythe, of which Parish he calls himself a Parishioner.

!Biography
!(http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1386-1421/member/chichele-robert-1439)
!One of the few distinguished persons to serve two terms as mayor of London during the early 15th century, Robert Chichele occupied a position of great authority and influence in the City by the time of his first return to Parliament. As a young man he probably received help from his elder brother, William, a leading member of the Grocers’ Company, while the third of the Chichele brothers, Henry, pursued a spectacularly successful career in the Church, becoming archbishop of Canterbury in 1414. William Chichele’s early achievements in the world of commerce no doubt encouraged Robert to leave his native Higham Ferrers, where their father, Thomas, had been a prominent member of the community for many years, and settle in London. He was living in the City by December 1390, when he and five other grocers held £240 in trust for the orphaned children of a member of their guild.4
!An entry in the Grocers’ Company records for 1399 notes a payment of £6 13s.4d. made to Chichele ‘par comune asent pur le parlement a Schrowsbery’, although his brother, William, had in fact been returned to that Parliament (September 1397) by the electors of London. It is most unlikely, in view of William’s senior position, that the compiler of this account confused the two men: perhaps Robert accompanied his elder brother to Shrewsbury or more probably took his place to spare him the inconvenience of leaving London.5
!Yet his own financial dealings were already quite impressive, and grew more complex with the passage of years. In November 1399 Chichele attempted to recover a sum of £51 which was owed to him on a bond of the statute of the Staple of Westminster by the two esquires, Hugh Middleton and Gilbert Purveys. Middleton was subsequently obliged to settle an annual rent of £10 a year upon the grocer and his friend, Thomas Knolles *, in order to clear the debt. Soon afterwards Sir William Bourgchier * and Robert Rykedon bound themselves to pay Chichele £113, but on this occasion the bond appears to have been honoured without delay. Meanwhile, in July 1402, Robert and William Chichele stood surety in Chancery on behalf of their brother, Henry, who, as newly-appointed dean of Salisbury, had been accused by the Crown of contempt. It was then that Robert agreed to offer guarantees of £200, again in Chancery, for the safety of certain goods held by three Genoese merchants trading in London. In June 1410 Chichele joined with William’s trading partner, Thomas Burton, to lend £667 to Henry IV. Again, in 1422, as mayor of London he contributed towards an advance of £520 made to the government on the security of a forthcoming parliamentary subsidy.6
!Chichele appears to have rented a house in the London parish of St. Stephen Walbrook until the time of his marriage, in, or shortly before, Michaelmas 1403, to Elizabeth, the widow of the wealthy vintner, William More. Since the latter died childless, Elizabeth had undisputed possession of an impressive estate, comprising land and tenements in the parishes of St. Anthony, St. Michael Queenhithe, St. James Garlichithe and All Hallows the Less. All this property was immediately conveyed by Chichele to his own feoffees, who confirmed him in the reversion should his wife predecease him. This she did some 17 years later, leaving Chichele to enjoy an income of at least £43 a year from premises in London alone. He then married the widow of his friend, Richard Marlow (who had appointed him to supervise the work of his executors), acquiring through her extensive property in four other city parishes, as well as farmland in Stepney and Old Ford, Middlesex. By 1436 his annual revenues from land in both London and the country exceeded £80, although it is now impossible to tell how much of this money came to him through marriage rather than the investment of his own capital in property.7
!Chichele had more rural holdings which appear to have belonged to him in his own right. In November 1397, for example, he took possession of two messuages in Havering, Essex, the ownership of which was later contested by the Crown and became the subject of an official inquiry. Nine years later he and his first wife conveyed moieties of the manors of Coldham and Bedford in Cambridgeshire to William Venour; and in 1417 they settled their manor of Garston in Surrey upon John Peny and others. In neither case, however, do we know if the property in question was actually being sold outright or merely settled upon a new body of trustees. From 1405 until 1408, our Member exercised an interest in the Berkshire estates of Nicholas Hertle of Windsor, but again the precise nature of his title remains uncertain. By 1410 Chichele had definitely acquired farmland and a house at Romford in Essex, where he proved a generous benefactor to the local parish church. He provided money for repairs to the fabric, and used his influence with the wardens of New College, Oxford, who owned the living, to extend the privileges enjoyed by the parishioners. He and his elder brother also shared certain holdings in Walthamstow in the same county, being anxious to establish themselves as rentiers on a fairly large scale.8
!Robert Chichele was also a party to conveyances of the extensive estates of the Cavendish family in Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, although it looks as if on this occasion he contented himself with performing the duties of a feoffee. He did, even so, become caught up in a protracted legal dispute with the rival claimant, John Hynkley of Thurlow in Suffolk, who at one point accused him and his associates of attempting to bribe a jury.9
!Chichele was so often involved in the affairs of others that his own property transactions cannot always be distinguished from those of friends and associates. This is particularly the case in London, where he was called upon to act as a feoffee or executor for some of the most eminent citizens of the day, including John Shadworth *, William Sevenoak *, William Standon *, Thomas Knolles and William Baret *.10
!He performed a similar service for a number of influential landowners in the home counties, and in July 1434 he was a party to his younger brother’s settlement of property upon the college of priests which he, as archbishop, had set up in Higham Ferrers.11
!Chichele became mayor of London for the first time in October 1414, and as such attended the parliamentary election held in the City in the following month. He was present at six other elections between 1417 and 1426, a period during which rather more is known of his activities than before.12
!In May 1417, for example, he was appointed to receive an annuity of 20 marks from the sheriffs of London on behalf of one of the recluses at Barking abbey, and in the following month he advanced £100 of his own money towards the cost of Henry V’s second expedition to France. In September 1419 and again nine months later Chichele arbitrated in disputes arising between foreign merchants in the City, an activity which reveals clearly enough the esteem accorded to him by his peers. Nor were they alone in recognizing his talents. One of the greatest responsibilities shouldered by the MP during his career was that of supervising the execution of Henry IV’s will, a task entrusted to him (officially as Henry VI’s deputy) in October 1423, almost certainly on the recommendation of Archbishop Chichele, the other supervisor. The two brothers and their colleagues then took delivery of 19,000 marks for the payment of various debts, and obtained their final acquittance six years later.13
!Chichele’s reputation for generosity towards both the City and the Church was established during his lifetime and was further consolidated by the lavish bequests made in his will. In July 1428 he presented the church of St. Stephen Walbrook (where Archbishop Chichele had served a brief period as rector) with a plot of land which he bought for 200 marks from the Grocers’ Company as the site for a new church. The foundation stone was laid by him at a civic ceremony held in the following spring: according to Stow, ‘the sayde Chichley gave more than one hundred pound to the sayde worke, and bare the chardges of all the timber worke on the procession way, and layde the leade vpon it of his own cost, he also gaue all the timber for the rooffing of the two side Iles, and paid for the carriage thereof’.14 Contact with members of his younger brother’s circle may well have given Chichele a taste for literature as well as expensive building projects. Few city merchants were patrons of this branch of the arts, but he is known to have commissioned the poet, Thomas Hoccleve, a clerk of the privy seal, to translate into English a short ballad ‘to the Virgin and Christ’.15 Robert Chichele made his last will on 5 June 1439 and was dead by 6 Nov. of that year. Altogether he left over £675 for pious and charitable works, and set a further £278 aside for his friends and relatives. Some of his London property was settled upon Archbishop Chichele’s college at Higham Ferrers, but the rest was sold to finance various schemes intended to improve the lot of the London poor. Chichele is even said to have made provision for an annual dinner for 2,400 needy householders in the City, and he was a notable benefactor of many churches there.16

Welsh Invasion
In 1277 Robert accompanied Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, in Edward I's first mass invasion of Wales to quash a rebellion by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Prince of Wales. The successful invasion led to the Treaty of Aberconwy, confining Llywelyn's authority to the west of the River Conwy.[3]
The Continent
In March 1287 Robert left England for the English-owned Gascony, however, it was a short stay and by Jun 1287 he had been posted to Wales.[4]
Shortly before April 1298 Robert served in Flanders,[4] perhaps accompanying the king when suing for peace with Philip IV of France.
Barony
In 1299 Robert and his heirs were granted the title Baron Scales[2] and he was summoned to Parliament from 1299-1305.[5]
Scottish Wars
In 1301 Robert, along with one companion, two knights and eleven horsemen, accompanied Edward I on his campaigns against William Wallace in the First War of Scottish Independence.[6]
Residences
Robert's main residence was at Rivenhall (or Rewenhale) in Essex where he held a manor house and park.[4][7] He also held land at Barkway and Newsells, Hertfordshire,[1] Middelton, Lenn, Herewyk, Reynham, Pudding Norton, Gately, Wilton, la Hawe, Hoo and Ilsington in Norfolk, Haselingfeld in Cambridgeshire, Wridelington in Suffolk,[1] Berton in Gloucestershire[1] and Ouresby and Torneton in Lincolnshire.[4]
Family
Robert married Isabel[4] and they had at least one son

Luttrell, Edward (1756–1824)
This article was published in Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 2, (MUP), 1967
Edward Luttrell (1756-1824), surgeon, was the son of Major Southcott Hungerford Luttrell, whose father was Edward Luttrell of Dunster, Somerset, England. His grandmother Ann, née Hungerford, was descended from the lords of Irnham and other noble families. He married a clergyman's daughter, Martha Walters, and they had six sons and four daughters. In 1803 he was in private practice in Kent, England, when like some other settlers he was given permission to go to New South Wales; because of his family and his property he was thought likely 'to cultivate his land … with greater facility than most of the settlers who have preceded him' and Governor Philip Gidley King was also instructed to give him a medical post when a vacancy occurred. In June 1804 Luttrell arrived at Port Jackson with his wife and eight children in the Experiment, Captain Withers, but soon afterwards his 'Feelings as a Father were much wounded', for one of his sons who had sailed twice with Withers deserted the ship in Sydney, and a daughter eloped with Withers when the Experiment sailed.
Luttrell was granted 400 choice acres (162 ha) near Mulgrave Place on the Hawkesbury, rations for his family and ten assigned servants, livestock, seed and tools. He soon had ten acres (4 ha) under wheat and bought some 400 sheep, but he was quickly disillusioned by the high costs, thefts, isolation and seasonal vagaries which, described at length in his letters to official friends in London, denied the fulfilment of his social ambitions and dreams. In June 1805 Luttrell was appointed assistant colonial surgeon at 5s. a day, with duties at Sydney and Parramatta. In 1807 he became friendly with Governor William Bligh, and 'although unused to a Sea life, and being upwards of Fifty' he was appointed to H.M.S. Porpoise as a naval surgeon at 10s. a day and made five voyages in her. To his dismay he was superseded in November 1808 but, after, applying to Lieutenant-Governor Paterson for reinstatement in his former position, he was appointed in February 1809 as acting assistant-surgeon in charge of the hospital for the sick of the military establishments at Parramatta, for which he was paid 5s. a day. Luttrell sought land grants for his eight children, and in August Paterson granted 125 acres (51 ha) in the Evan district to each. Governor Lachlan Macquarie confirmed these, but in June 1813 he reported that he would not recommend Luttrell for promotion or additional pay since he was 'totally undeserving … deficient … in Humanity and in Attention to his Duty … sordid and Unfeeling and will not Afford any Medical Assistance to any Person who cannot pay him well for it'.
Macquarie had received many complaints of Luttrell's negligence and had more than once severely admonished him, and would have suspended him were it not for his large family. In April 1814 Luttrell was moved from Parramatta to Sydney, to be under the eye of the principal surgeon, D'Arcy Wentworth. Next year he was given a choice of retiring to his farm on a pension or of returning to the Parramatta Hospital, but in August he was appointed acting colonial surgeon at Hobart Town at a salary of £182 10s. He moved there in January 1816. He cleared himself of some charges by proving that he suffered from a severe rheumatic affection which often crippled him, but Macquarie told the Colonial Office that Luttrell, although 'not deemed deficient in professional Skill … is … Criminally inattentive to his Patients … extremely Irritable and Violent in his Temper and Very Infirm from Dissipation', and should be retired on half-pay. This for the time the office refused and Macquarie, thinking again of his large family, was reluctant to displace him.
In Hobart Luttrell was in constant trouble with Lieutenant-Governor William Sorell for being a boon companion of Thomas Davey, for irregular attendance at the hospital and gaol and for negligence in submitting returns. He was censured for making false accusations, and repeatedly recommended for retirement. The Colonial Office in 1818 gave Macquarie permission to place Luttrell on half-pay, but not until June 1821, when James Scott was appointed, was it possible to replace him. Luttrell died at his home in Bridge Street on 10 June 1824 in his sixty-eighth year. His widow, after many appeals, was allowed a pension of £50; she died in May 1832.

LUTTRELLS IN AUSTRALIA
DR. EDWARD LUTTRELL
From "A History of Dunster" by Sir H. C. Maxwell Lyte, 1909.
Edward Luttrell, the second son of Major Southcote Hungerford Luttrell, was born in England in 1757. Elizabeth Hungerford, relict of George Hungerford of Studley House, near Calne, was his godmother. He was practising as a surgeon at Tonbridge in 1792 when he wrote a short account of a treatment of gangrene with alkalis and acids. An official despatch of the 30th of November 1803 describes him as a surgeon of considerable reputation in Kent, who was about to proceed to New South Wales on board the 'Experiment', with a view to settling there. A colonial return made two years later shows that he then had a wife and seven children. From January 1807 to September 1808, he was acting as surgeon on H. M. S. 'Porpoise", a store-ship stationed off the coast of New South Wales. Having then leave from the Captain to go inland to visit his family at Paramatta, he fell ill and was unable to return when summoned. Commodore Bligh, however, his irascible superior, refused to believe his story, and said that he must come on board dead or alive. Eventurally an 'R' was put against his name in the ship's book, to indicate that he had "run", and this stigma was not removed until after a consideration of the case by the Board of Admiralty more than ten years later. From New South Wales Dr. Edward Luttrell removed to Van Dieman's Land, where he became Surgeon General. Dying on the 10th of June 1824, he was buried at Hobart. Martha his relict, daughter of the Rev. _____ Walters, was buried beside him in May 1832.
The Luttrell family in the Australian colonies has so increased and spread that it has not been found practicable to give details here of the births, marriages and deaths of its different scions. Of Dr. Edward Luttrell's six sons, four indeed died without issue. Hungerford, the eldest, a surgeon, died of fever off the coast of Africa. Edward, the second, was lost at sea in the Indian Ocean on board the "Governor Macquarie", in 1811. Robert the third, was killed by natives at Paramatta in New South Wales, in 1812. Oscar, the fifth, was killed by natives near Melbourne in 1838.
Alfred Luttrell, fourth son of Dr. Edward Luttrell, died at Hobart in February 1865. He had issue seven sons: Edward, John, Alfred, Robert, Frederick, William and Edwin, and five daughters.
Edgar Luttrell, sixth son of Dr. Edward Luttrell, died at Hobart in May 1865. He had issue seven sons, Edward Hungerford, Edgar, Wilmot Southcote Hungerford, George Walter, Edmund B. S., Tasman, and Alfred, and four daughters. | LUTTRELL, Edward (I14610)

m firstly ([after 1035]) HERLEVE, mistress of ROBERT II Duke of Normandy, daughter of FULBERT & his wife [Doda/Duwa] --- (-[1050]). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Herleva Fulberti cubicularii ducis filia” as the mother of “Willelmus...ex concubina Roberti ducis...natus“, and that after Duke Robert died “Herluinus...miles” married her by whom he had “duos filios Odonem et Robertum”[863]. The dating of her marriage is in doubt: William of Malmesbury records that it took place “ante patris [referring to Robert II Duke of Normandy] obitum”[864]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Herluinus...de Contavilla” married “Herlevam Rodberti ducis concubinam”[865]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the mother of Duke Guillaume as "filia…Herbertus pelliparius et uxor eius Doda sive Duwa", specifying that the family was from Chaumont in the diocese of Liège but moved to Falaise although others said that they were from Huy, and specifies her marriage to "Herlewino de Vado comitis"[866]. Orderic Vitalis calls her "Duke Robert's concubine", and specifies her marriage, referring to her husband as stepfather to Duke Guillaume[867]. She presumably died before her husband founded the abbey of Grestain as she is not referred to in the abbey's confirmation charter dated 14 Nov 1189[868]. Robert of Torigny's De Immutatione Ordinis Monachorum records that "Herluinus de Contevilla…et Herleve uxor eius" were buried in "mon. Sanctæ Mariæ Gresteni"[869].

ACCIDENT. - On Friday, a young man, named Abraham Taylor, in the employ of Mr. Charles Chambers of Langley Park, was driving a wagon and horses, when he slipped in front of the wheels, and the wagon, with its contents weighing about four tons, passed over his arm. Fortunately no bones were broken, but his arm was severely lacerated. Under treatment at the West Kent General Hospital he is now progressing favourably.
Kent & Sussex Courier 02 September 1887, p. 3
HARVEST HOME. - On Saturday last a gathering, which served to remind one of the happy days when this, our island home, was designated "Merrie England," took place at Langley Park, near Maidstone, when Mr. Charles Chambers entertained the whole of his workpeople in good old English fashion, by way of celebrating the ingathering of a plentiful harvest and the Jubilee year of her Majesty's reign. Coming from a stock of Kentish yeomen, Mr. Chambers is a thorough agriculturist, and by dint of perseverance and the exercise of sound judgment he is one of those very few fortunate tenant farmers who are able to hold their own in these depressed times. He has under cultivation about 1,300 acres of and situate in the parishes of Langley, Yalding, Est and West Farleigh, Biddenden, Maidstone, Otham, and Chart Sutton. It was the labourers, with their wives and families, to the number of about 500, employed in the cultivation of these farms, who were invited to the feast, and the weather being gloriously fine, all were enabled to join in the festivities without let or hindrance.
