| 1 | Sir Gilbert Gerard of Gerard's Bromley d 04.02.1592/3,
Master of the Rolls, Attorney-General Gerard, from Ince Hall,Lancashire,
and descended from the ancient family of Bryn, Ashton in Makerfield, Lancashire
and Kingsley, Cheshire spent some time at the University of Cambridge but
did not graduate.[1] He was called to the bar by Gray's Inn in 1539, serving
as Treasurer in 1556. He was MP for Liverpool in 1545, MP for Wigan in
1553 and 1555, and MP for Steyning, Sussex in 1554. On the accession of
Elizabeth I, he was appointed Attorney-General and served in this role
for over twenty years, helping to reform court procedure in Ireland amongst
other tasks, but not playing a large role in policy-making. He sat as a
judge on trials including that of John Hales in 1564. Three years later,
he helped Matthew Parker, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in reforming Merton
College, Oxford. In 1570, he was a member of a commission trying participants
in the northern uprising, and in 1571 he was thanked by Cambridge University
for his work in securing the passage of an Act of Parliament confirming
the charters and privileges of the university. He also assisted the prosecution
of Duke of Norfolk in connection with the Ridolfi plot.[2]
He was knighted in 1579 but was passed over for the position of Lord Keeper of the Great Seal in the same year. In 1581, he became Master of the Rolls, and although his period of office was not a success, this may not have been due to personal failings. His family from Hilderstone, Staffordshire were staunchly Catholic including his grandson Richard Gerard of Hilderstone who died in Newgate Prison in 1580. He was involved in further treason trials in later years. He died on 4 February 1593 and was buried in Ashley, Staffordshire.[2] He had estates at Gerards Bromley where he built Gerards Bromley Hall in 1575 and at Hilderstone, Staffordshire. He married Ann Ratcliffe and their son Thomas was created the first Baron Gerard of Gerards Bromley in 1603 |
