Richard Catlin

Richard Catlin IV (1583–1662), also written Catlyn or Catelyn, was an English landowner and politician from a family long associated with the city of Norwich.

His father was a landowner holding the manors of Lakenham outside Norwich, Kirby Cane and Wingfield Castle, all of which he inherited.

Due to his absence, in 1644 he was disabled for deserting the service of the House and his estate was sequestrated.

[1] His eldest son by the first marriage, Thomas Catlin, died fighting for the King at the Second Battle of Newbury in 1644.

His heir was his eldest son by the second marriage, Nevill Catlin, who was knighted in 1662 and followed his father into Parliament.
