Edward Herbert, 3rd Baron Herbert of Chirbury
Edward Herbert, 3rd Baron Herbert of Chirbury (1633-1678) was an English aristocrat and soldier.
Life
He was the elder son of
Denbighshire
(1666).
Quaker, of Welshpool in Montgomeryshire, often appealed to Herbert in behalf of coreligionists committed to prison; and Herbert was sympathetic. He was, Davies says, a very big fat man.[citation needed
]
Herbert corresponded frequently with his great-uncle,
St Edmund's Chapel, Westminster Abbey. He built a half timbered mansion in Lymore Park, which was completed in 1677, the year before his death. Lymore lies to the east-southeast of Montgomery, and the house was largely demolished in 1931[2]
Family
Herbert married firstly Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Myddelton of Chirk Castle, and secondly, Elizabeth, daughter of George Brydges, 6th Baron Chandos, but had no issue.
