Robert Bromfield

Robert Bromfield (died 1647) was an English timber merchant and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1621 and 1624.

[4] In the same year, he obtained a mortgage of Hammonds Place, Clayton Sussex, which by 1666 was in the hands of Sir Edward Bromfield, 2nd Baronet.

In 1625 Bromfield and Thomas Overman bought Montague House and Montague Close, including various wharves and buildings around Southwark Priory, from Anthony-Maria Browne, 2nd Viscount Montagu; Bromfield redeveloped the site to make the buildings "suitable for men of better ability".

[7] Bromfield probably died in 1647[8] and was buried in Lambourne Church, Essex.

[9] He was related to Edward Bromfield, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1636 and was father of the first baronet.
