Thomas Levett
Thomas Levett (1594 – ca. 1655), was an Oxford-educated Lincoln's Inn barrister, judge of the Admiralty for the Northern Counties and High Sheriff of Rutland.〔(The Church Under the Law: Justice, Administration and Discipline in the Diocese of York, Ronald A. Marchant, Cambridge University Press, London, 1969 )〕 But Levett's chief accomplishment was as antiquarian, preserving a centuries-old chartulary kept by Cluniac monks at their Pontefract, Yorkshire abbey, and then turning it over to Yorkshire medieval scholar Roger Dodsworth for publication.〔(Chartulary of St. John of Pontefract: From the Original Document In the Possession of Godfrey Wentworth, Esq., of Woolley Park, The Yorkshire Archaeological Society, Vol. XXV, Richard Holmes (ed.), Printed for the Society, 1899 )〕
==Early life==
Levett was born in High Melton, Yorkshire, son of Thomas Levett.〔Oxford University records list Lincoln College student Levett as 'son and heir of Thomas Levett of Melton on the Hill, Yorkshire, gent.' Levett also took an advanced degree from Orleans University in France.()〕 He was married to Margaret Lindley, daughter of John Lindley of Leathley, Yorkshire.〔(Ancestry of Thomas Levett, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Henry Fitz-Gilbert Waters, 1913 )〕 Through his marriage, Levett was related to Sir Guy Palmes, MP for Rutland from 1621–22 and High Sheriff of Yorkshire in 1622–23.〔(Descriptive Catalogue of the Original Charters, Royal Grants, and Donations, Monastic Chartulary, Muniments of Battle Abbey, Thomas Thorpe, London, 1835 )〕 (Palmes was eventually heavily fined by Parliament and pardoned for his Royalist sympathies.) In spite of his familial relationship with Palmes, Levett apparently favoured the Parliamentary cause against the King. In June 1647 he contributed towards the Parliament's "Ordinance for the raising of Moneyes to be towards the maintenance of Forces within this Kingdome, under the Command of Sir Thomas Fairfax Knight," as documents from Parliament put it, as well as "for the speedy transporting of, and paying the Forces for the carrying on the Warre of Ireland."〔(Acts and Ordinances of the Interregnum, 1642–1660, C.H. Firth, 1911, British History Online )〕
