Walter Tichborne

[3] According to his wife's memorial monument in St Michael's church in Aldershot (see right) they had seven sons and six daughters:[4] Benjamin, Francis, John, Walter, James, Richard and Lionel.

To the embarrassment of the Tichbornes the king replied that the house at Aldershot was unfit for such a meeting and arranged it for the following week at Oatlands Palace near Weybridge.

Possibly in response to the king's disdain for their manor house the Tichbornes built a sub-manor which was later sold and became the Union Workhouse for Aldershot.

Among the offices he held were: appointed Justice of the Peace (JP) for Surrey in 1610 and for Hampshire in 1614, holding both posts until his death; (from 1610 to his death[clarification needed]; Lieutenant-Colonel in the Hampshire militia from 1625; Constable of Farnham Castle from 1632; a Freeman of Newport and Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight (1634); Commissioner for Piracy for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight (1635-6); Commissioner for the Recovery of Mortgaged Crown Lands (1618); Equerry of the Royal Stables (1625), and Gentleman of the Privy Chamber Extraordinary (1635–1637).

In the summer of 1623 Tichborne was listed at the county assizes as being "out of the country", most likely while accompanying one of his daughters who entered a convent in Brussels as a nun.

[9] By 1635 Walter Tichborne had become deeply involved in the debts of his older brother and on receiving royal protection Sir William Uvedale among others was ordered by the king in June 1637 to attempt to reach a settlement with his creditors.
