William Wilshere (1754–1824)
William Wilshere (1754–1824) of The Frythe was an English lawyer and banker. He was an attorney in Hitchin, and founded a bank there in 1789.
==Life==
He was born 6 September 1754,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''List of burials in Welwyn churchyard, memorials within the church and names found only on the 1906 record of memorials'', Surnames S-Z )〕 the son of William Wilshere (died 1798).〔 He became attorney to Samuel Whitbread in 1780, beginning a long and close relationship as adviser and agent, which also saw him as a financial partner in the Whitbread brewery from 1801, when others including the banker Sir Benjamin Hobhouse were brought into the company.
At the period of the French Revolution Wilshere was sufficiently concerned to fortify his house. In 1806 Whitbread and Wilshere began a campaign for reform of the Poor Laws, and Wilshere provided Whitbread with material for a speech in the House of Commons on the topic on May of that year. Also that year he purchased the manor Great Wymondley from Shute Barrington. The purchase brought with it the right to be cupbearer at royal coronations, and Wilshere carried out the office for the coronation of George IV of the United Kingdom. This was the last time the tradition was honoured.〔''Parishes: Great or Much Wymondley'', in A History of the County of Hertford: Volume 3, ed. William Page (London, 1912), pp. 181-185 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/herts/vol3/pp181-185 (16 May 2015 ).〕 Fulford speculates that this royal service may have damaged Wilshere's reputation among Whigs.
Wilshere was a magistrate in both Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. He testified to an 1817 House of Lords committee on the Poor Laws that he found it necessary to give relief without regard to whether the recipients were deserving, to save life.
