Richard Penderel

Richard Penderel (c.1606 – 7 February 1672) was a Roman Catholic farmer, and a supporter of the Royalist cause during the English Civil War.

Richard Penderel was the life tenant of the farm by 1651, by which time it is assumed that his father had already died.

In the morning, they sought shelter at Madeley from Francis Wolfe, another Catholic of Penderel's acquaintance, but finding the crossings of the River Severn were guarded by Oliver Cromwell's soldiers, they returned to Hobbal Grange on Saturday 5 September.

On 9 September, Parliamentary troops arrived on a search and questioned the owner of the house Thomas Whitgrave, while the King and Huddleston were hiding there in a priest hole.

Penderel contracted a fever and died while visiting London, and was buried at St Giles-in-the-Fields.
