an English antiquary and MP. He was the earliest collector of materials for the history of his county, with the exception of John Rous, and he intended to publish a Perambulation of Warwickshire on the model of William Lambarde's Perambulation of Kent, but did not carry out the plan. William Camden says that he was "a man both for parentage and for knowledge of antiquity, very commendable and my special friend; who … hath at all times courteously shewed me the right way when I was out, and from his candle, as it were, hath lighted mine".
