Biography
Oxborough dedicated his life to the service of King’s Lynn. He represented the town in five parliaments and occupied the onerous position of town clerk before being elevated to the recordership in 1597. .. Oxborough drafted his will on 18 Dec. 1623, shortly before his death. He bestowed a life interest in his mansion house in Lynn upon his second wife Margaret, except for the study and gallery ‘over the little parlours’, which he reserved for his eldest son. A messuage and 90 acres around Lynn and the remainder of his properties in Norfolk at Middleton, Terrington St. John, Feltwell, Tilney, and Islington were divided among his children and grandchildren. He asked to be buried ‘without pomp or a funeral’ next to his first wife, Thomasine, at Emneth, Norfolk.
By an inquisition taken at Norwich, January 14, in the 22d of James I. it was found that Thomas Oxborough, Esq. died December 8, in the 21st of that King, possessed of this rectory, 66 acres of land, the advowson of the vicarage, 3 messuages, one cottage, 15 acres of pasture, and 30 of marsh, in this parish and St. German's, late parcel of the priory of Castleacre, held in capite by knight's service. Thomas was his son and heir, by Thomasine his wife, who held the same, and had by Audrey his wife, Hewer Oxborough, his son and heir, and Laurence, his second son; Hewar dying in 1628, it came so his brother Lawrence, then aged 18.
