Sir Richard Grosvenor, 1st Baronet

Sir Richard Grosvenor, 1st Baronet (9 January 1585 – 14 September 1645) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1621 and 1629.

Grosvenor was born at Eaton Hall, Cheshire, reportedly the only surviving male child of 17 children.

[2] His early education was by John Bruen, a local puritan and at the age of 13 he went to The Queen's College, Oxford.

He was re-elected MP for Cheshire in 1626 and 1628, and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.

His diary-taking has been described as meticulous and it is thought his diary taking represents some of the most complete accounts of Parliamentary debate from the period.
