William Priestley (c.1594-1664) was a lawyer and member of the Long Parliament, the son of William Priestley (d.1620), a merchant tailor in the City of London.
Priestley was admitted to Sidney College, Cambridge, 18 April 1610, and was admitted to the Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn, 4 August 1612.〔The register of admissions to Gray’s Inn (London 1889), 130.〕 Following his father’s death in 1620, Priestley inherited Camfield House in Essendon;〔Will of William Preistley, Merchant Tailor of London, 1620, TNA PROB 11/135/649; Chancery: Inquisitions Post Mortem; TNA C 142/385/34.〕 then, in 1627, he acquired the manor of Bedwell Lowthes. The family lived in a house known as Wyldehelle or Weald Hill, on the border of Hatfield and Essendon.〔When Priestley’s grandson, was admitted to Gray’s Inn, 11 November 1686, he is described: William, son & heir of Thomas Priestley of Weald Hill, Hertfordshire.
