Sir Henry Cholmley or Cholmeley of Roxby in Whitby Strand (1556–1616), was an English Member of Parliament.
[1] His mother was Richard Cholmley's second wife, Catherine (died 1598), a daughter of Henry Clifford, 1st Earl of Cumberland.
[2] Another relation, Marmaduke Cholmley of Brandsby, would challenge him as heir of the Cholmeley estates.
Though his wife Margaret was a devout Roman Catholic recusant, the couple converted to Protestantism in 1603.
Richard, who married Mary Hungate by Catholic rite before 1607,[6] and harboured Jesuits in November 1609,[7] is associated with travelling players.
