Richard Herbert, Lord of Cherbury

Richard Herbert (-1596), Lord of Cherbury (or Chirbury), and of Montgomery Castle, was an English Justice of the Peace and Parliamentarian who was Custos Rotulorum, or Sheriff, of Montgomeryshire from some time between 1548 and 1594, and 1596.

Richard was the eldest son of Edward Herbert through whom he was a member of a collateral branch of the family of the Earls of Pembroke. He married Magdalene, daughter of Sir Richard Newport. His eldest son, Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury was born on 3 March 1583 at Eyton-on-Severn near Wroxeter.

Subsequent children were Elizabeth, Margaret, Richard, William, George (April 3 1593), Henry (1595), Frances, and Thomas (1597). By 1593 the family had moved to Black Hall, a large, low house in a valley overlooked by the castle.

After his death in 1596 while his wife was pregnant with their tenth child, Richard Herbert was buried on 15 October in a canopied tomb in the parish church of Saint Nicholas, Montgomery. His family moved to Oxford and then to London.
