James Tyrrell (Oakley)

James Tyrrell (Oakley)

James Tyrrell (1643 – June 17, 1718), of Queens College, Oxford (from 1663), and the first son of Sir Timothy Tyrrell and Elizabeth Tyrrell.

He lived in Oakley, Buckinghamshire. He was married to Mary Hutchinson (1645-1687), daughter of Sir Michael Hutchinson of Flatbury, Worcestershire. They had at least three children, including John Tyrrell and Mary and another son. At the time of the Peace of Rijswijk (1697), he was persuaded into public service by Thomas Herbert, 8th Earl of Pembroke (Lord Pembroke) to become Commissioner of the Privy Seal. According to a memorial to him, "He was a man of rare integrity, gravity, and wisdom: had never polished himself out of his sincerity: nor refined his behaviour to the prejudice of his virtue. He was a warm and zealous lover of his country, & of that system of religion and law which he well knew could only support it."

He died on June 17, 1718 and is buried in the church in Oakley.
