Walter Bagot (died 1622)

Sir Walter Bagot of Blithfield (1557-1622/3), was a landowner and Member of Parliament for Tamworth in 1586.

[1][2] Bagot's eldest son Lewis's behaviour in London caused his parents concern.

Bagot asked his associates in London, John Chadwick and Thomas Docksie, to investigate.

Chadwick and Docksie heard that Lewis had denied any relationship with Mary, and they thought she was faking the pregnancy with padding.

Many of the Bagot family papers from Blithfield Hall were acquired by the Folger Shakespeare Library at Sotheby's in 1955, from Winnie Myers in 1959, and from Bernard Quaritch in 1962.
