Guy Palmes

Sir Guy Palmes (1580–1653) was High Sheriff of Yorkshire and Justice of the Peace for Yorkshire.

Palmes lived at Lindley, West Yorkshire, and at Ashwell, Rutland and married Anne, the daughter of Sir Edward Stafford.

The King subsequently named Palmes a High Sheriff, in order to keep Palmes busy at home and out of the King's way. (Sheriffs were required by statute to remain in their counties.)

He would be fined heavily by Parliament and eventually pardoned, but forced to sell many of his estates to pay his fines.

Palmes represented Rutland seven times in Parliament from 1614 to 1640. Palmes' daughter was the second wife of Robert Sutton, Baron Lexington of Aram, who was elevated to the peerage in 1645 for his services to the Royalist cause.
