John Theyer
John Theyer (1597–1673) was an English royalist lawyer and writer, an antiquary and bibliophile. ==Life== He was the son of John Theyer (d. 1631), and grandson of Thomas Theyer of Brockworth, Gloucestershire, and was born there in 1597. He entered Magdalen College, Oxford, when about sixteen, but did not graduate. After three years at Magdalen he practised common law at New Inn. Anthony Wood's mother proposed to send her son to qualify under Theyer as an attorney. Wood did not go, but he became a lifelong friend, and visited Theyer to make use of his library. It was at Cooper's Hill, Brockworth, a small estate given Theyer by his father on his marriage in 1628. Theyer resided mainly at Brockworth. At the start of the First English War in 1642, he intervened at Painswick church, where some iconoclastic Parliamentarians had been active; his wife claimed descent from the courtier William Kingston who had an elaborate tomb in the church. Theyer made a court appearance in September with two local men, was fined, and added some church brasses to his collection in 1644;〔Welbore St. Clair Baddeley, ''A Cotteswold Manor; being the history of Painswick'' (1907), pp. 201–2; (archive.org ).〕〔Welbore St. Clair Baddeley, ''History of the Church of St. Mary at Painswick'' (1902), p. 36; (archive.org ).〕 the tomb inscription to Kingston was later reported lost.〔Cecil Tudor Davis, ''The Monumental Brasses of Gloucestershire'' (1899) p. 217; (archive.org ).〕 In 1643 Theyer was in Oxford, serving in the king's army. Wood says he became a Roman Catholic about this time. His estate was sequestrated by the parliament, who pronounced him one of the most 'inveterate' with whom they had to deal. His family were almost destitute until his discharge was obtained on 4 November 1652.〔 Theyer died at Cooper's Hill on 25 August 1673, and was buried in Brockworth churchyard on the 28th.〔
