Robert Long (lawyer and landowner)

Robert Long (died 31 March 1447) of South Wraxall and Draycot Cerne in Wiltshire, was an English lawyer and landowner.

He served as a Member of Parliament, mostly as an occasional knight of the shire for Wiltshire, and was the founder of the prominent Long family of South Wraxall and Draycott.

[1] A Robert Long was acting as a deputy marshal in the Court of King's Bench by 1408, and this may have been the same man.

[1] Both of these estates descended in the male line of the Long family for more than four hundred years, with Draycot finally being bequeathed away by Long’s descendant William Pole-Tylney-Long-Wellesley, 5th Earl of Mornington, who in 1863 left it in his will to his cousin Henry Wellesley, 1st Earl Cowley.

In 1417 he was elected for Calne, and the one session of that parliament was from November to December.
