Robert Suckling (1520–1589), of St. Andrew's, Norwich, Norfolk, was an English politician, mercer and merchant adventurer.
[1] In 1562 he bought and rebuilt a large house[1] in St Andrews Street in Norwich, part of which survives, incorporated into a cinema.
An inventory of his property taken in 1590 included four Bibles and a copy of Calvin's Institutes.
[1] Suckling was married three times: to Elizabeth Barwick (d. 1569), to Margaret Pettingale (d. 1576), and to Joan Cardinall, who survived him.
[1] He had five sons and five daughters from his first marriage, including Edmund Suckling, who became Dean of Norwich in 1614 and John Suckling, who was knighted in 1616 and served as Secretary of State to both James I and Charles I.
