William Cromer (died 1598)

William Cromer (c. 1531–1598), of Tunstall, near Sittingbourne, Kent, was an English Member of Parliament (MP).

He was the son of James Cromer (died 1541) and Anne, daughter of Sir Edward Wotton.

[2] The Cromer (or Crowner) family had held the manor of Tunstall since the early fifteenth century.

[1] He was released from the Tower of London and pardoned quite quickly, but the recovery of his lands was expensive and his attainder was not reversed until 1563.

[3] He served as MP for Hythe in 1571, being appointed by William Brooke, 10th Baron Cobham, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
