John Berwick (by 1508 – 1572) was an English politician who was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Great Bedwyn in 1529 and Marlborough in 1539. [1]
He was probably born into the entourage of the Seymours, and by 1535 was receiver-general for Edward Seymour (later Duke of Somerset). He leased Bulford manor from 1538, and bought other land in Wiltshire at Winterbourne Earls, Clyffe Pypard, Preshute and Hippenscombe; also the lordship of Blandford St Mary in Dorset. [1] In 1549 he bought the Wilcot estate of the former Bradenstoke Priory, and made his home there. [2]
Berwick died in October 1572, soon after making his will. [1] There is a monument to him, dated 1574, in Holy Cross church at Wilcot. [2]
He married one Dorothy and they had one son and two daughters. [1] Their daughter Anne married Sir Thomas Wroughton [2] who was elected on one occasion for Heytesbury. [3]
