Roger Whitley

Roger Whitley (1618-1697) was a royalist officer in the English Civil War, and was closely involved throughout the 1650s in plans for a royalist uprising against the Interregnum and Protectorate regimes.

He was a Member of the Convention Parliament of 1660, and of every subsequent Parliament until his defeat in the 1690 election. He represented the north-east Welsh borough constituency of Flint from 1660 until 1681. He was then elected in Chester and served as MP 1681-1685 and 1689-1690. He returned to represent Chester in 1695, until his death two years later. Whitley was a prominent Whig politician and a powerful figure in Chester. His massive diary details his social circle and everyday routine.
