'''Henry Norwood''' ({{circa}} 1614 – 1689), of [[Bishampton, Worcestershire]] (or, later, of [[Leckhampton]], [[Gloucestershire]]) supported the [[Cavalier|Royalist]] cause in the [[English Civil War]] as a distinguished cavalry officer fighting as a volunteer at Bristol and Worcester. After the defeat, trial and [[execution of Charles I]], he set out on what proved to be a difficult journey to Virginia, where a cousin ([[William Berkeley (governor)|Sir William Berkeley]]) was governor. He returned to England, became active as an agent attempting to aid Royalist uprisings, and spent a significant time imprisoned in the [[Tower of London]] for his pro-Royalist activities. Upon his release he was involved in [[Booth's Uprising]] and, subsequently, acted as a messenger between [[Charles II of England]] and Edward Montagu, Earl of Sandwich. He was appointed deputy governor in Dunkirk a little after the Restoration and, when Dunkirk was sold to [[Louis XIV]] of France, he was sent to [[Tangier]], where he rose to become [[Governor of Tangier|governor]]. He was a [[Member of Parliament|Member]] (MP) of the [[Parliament of England]] for [[Gloucester (UK Parliament constituency)|Gloucester]] 20 April 1675.{{sfn|Henning|1983}} He died in Leckhampton in 1689, and was buried in [[St Peter's Church, Leckhampton]].
==Family and early life== ;Early life and Civil War
He was the second son of Henry Norwood, of [[West Camel]], Somerset, and his wife, Elizabeth Rodney (widow of James Kirton<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Parliament Online |last1=Lancaster |first1=Henry |last2=Coates |first2=Ben |url=http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1604-1629/member/kirton-james-ii-1611}}</ref>), and was born in about 1614: His elder brother Charles was born in 1613, and his father died in 1616. Little is known of his life until, in 1637, he was admitted to the Inner Temple, listed as ''of Bishampton, Worcestershire''. It is likely that the outbreak of the [[English Civil War]] intervened to halt a potential legal career: In 1647, Norwood's name was listed as owing debts and duties to the Inn; but on 30 May 1660, the day after the [[Restoration (England)|Restoration]], he was finally called to the bar.<ref>{{cite book|title=Records of the Inner Temple|editor-last=Inderwick, QC |editor-first=F A |publisher=Stevens & Sons, by Order of the Masters of the Bench|url=https://archive.org/stream/calendarofinnert02inne#page/278/mode/2up|date=1898}}</ref> Nevertheless, by then, Norwood was first and foremost a soldier, and there is no record that he was ever active as a lawyer.
Norwood joined the Royalist forces in the early days of the Civil War and was commissioned in December 1642 to raise a troop in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. In 1643, he was a Captain in Colonel Washington's force under [[Prince Rupert of the Rhine|Prince Rupert]] at the [[Storming of Bristol]]<ref>{{cite book |last=Warburton |first=Eliot |authorlink=Eliot Warburton |title=Memoirs and Correspondence of Prince Rupert |volume=2 |page=252 |publisher=Richard Bentley |date=1849 |url=https://archive.org/stream/memoirsofprincer02warbuoft#page/252/mode/2up}}</ref> and appears to have remained with Washington until the [[Siege of Worcester|surrender of Worcester]] in July, 1646. The garrison was given passes, on parole ''never to bear Arms any more against the Parliament of England,'' to return to their homes (or other places) or to go overseas within two months.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/rushworth-papers/vol6/pp276-298 |title=Historical Collections: The surrender of Oxford, etc., in Historical Collections of Private Passages of State 1645-47 |last=Rushworth |first=John |place=London |publisher=British History Online |access-date=29 April 2016}}</ref> Norwood evidently chose to go overseas: He met, in Holland, other Royalists (in particular, Majors [[Francis Moryson]] or Morrison and Richard Fox) and (according to Norwood's account) came to an agreement to pursue their fortunes in Virginia.<ref name=Trye>{{cite web |url=http://www2.glos.ac.uk/bgas/tbgas/v047/bg047113.pdf |title=Colonel Henry Norwood of Leckhampton |last=Trye |first=Capt J H |publisher=Bristol & Gloucester Archaeological Society, Transactions |volume=47 |pages=113–121}}</ref> Norwood was second cousin to the Governor of Virginia, [[William Berkeley (governor)|Sir William Berkeley]], their grandmothers being Margery and Elizabeth Lygon, and Moryson held a commission from Charles II as Captain of [[Fort Monroe#Colonial Period|Fort Comfort]] (where, in fact, his brother Lieutenant Robert Moryson was already in charge). Other Norwoods had already emigrated to Virginia. Strangely, perhaps, in the light of those connections, Norwood himself says ''my best cargaroon'' (usually illicit cargo) ''was his Majesty’s gracious letter in my favour, which took effect beyond my expectation, because it recommended me (above whatever I had or could deserve) to the governor’s particular care.'' He does not say how he had earned the specific recommendation.
;Virginia
Some time after the January 1649 beheading of [[Charles I of England|King Charles]], Norwood, Moryson and Fox met in London and secured passage on a ship, ''The Virginia Merchant,'' Captain John Lockyer, bound for James River, Virginia. It is not clear why the three were in London at that time: One source, not especially reliable, suggests that they had intended a mission to rescue Charles I from [[Carisbrooke Castle]] but arrived too late.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.org/stream/foxfamily00foxj#page/8/mode/2up |title=Fox Family |last=Fox |first=James Wallace |publisher=William and Mary Quarterly |place=Richmond, Virginia |date=1917}}</ref> Norwood appeared before the [[Committee for Compounding with Delinquents]] in June 1949, and is recorded as ''never sequestered nor engaged in the last war''.<ref>{{cite book |title=Calendar for the Committee for Compounding |volume=iii |page=2075 |editor-last=Green |editor-first=Mary Ann Everett |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015066345680;view=1up;seq=447}}</ref> Whatever the reason for being back in England, the three (in company with about 130 other emigrants) set out from the [[The Downs (ship anchorage)|Downs]] on 23 September 1649. The tale of the voyage, with dolphins, shipwreck, cannibalism, and (friendly) Indians, was told by Henry Norwood in ''A Voyage to Virginia'' published many years later, in 1732.<ref>There are many versions; the first, perhaps, in [[Awnsham Churchill]]'s ''Collection of Voyages and Travels.'' The details given here are from the version at {{cite web |url=http://www.bartleby.com/400/prose/17.html |title=A Dolorous Journey to the New World}}</ref> The ship, under-provisioned, called at [[Faial Island|Fyall]], left there on 22 October, and crossed on the trade winds to [[Bermuda#Settlement by the English|Bermuda]] (where they could not land) and [[Cape Hatteras]] where the ship grounded, but got back out to sea. Storms struck for some days and the ship was dismasted, except the [[mast (sail)|mizzen]]; a ''mighty sea'' struck the ship and removed the [[forecastle|fo'c's'le]]. The disabled ship survived and made land on 4 January 1650. Moryson went ashore with the ship's mate, found fresh water, and was thereafter followed by Norwood and others. The location has been generally identified as what is now [[Ocean City, Maryland]], just offshore from the [[Delmarva Peninsula|Chesapeake Peninsula]].
The ship sailed off, unexpectedly, on the next day, leaving those onshore marooned. After about ten days (during which the supposed cannibalism - of the corpses of those who died - occurred) the party were found by friendly Native Americans, and taken by canoe to their own village of (or in) Kickotank. There, when the word ''Accawmacke'' (probably referring to the nation after which the town is named) was recognised by Norwood (as [[Accomac, Virginia|the English settlement]] in Virginia) the king or chief sent word to that settlement. Meanwhile, ''The Virginia Merchant'' had made it on to [[James River]]. Guided by a planter or trader, Jenkin Price (later, surveyor in [[Somerset County, Maryland]]) who had been sent to find them, Norwood trekked over to Price's base at Littleton's Plantation in (or on the edge of) Accomac (at that time [[Northampton County, Virginia|Northampton County]]). From there, he travelled on to Yeardley's plantation and across [[Chesapeake Bay]] to [[York River (Virginia)|York River]] at Ludlow's Plantation (which seems to have been where [[Yorktown, Virginia|Yorktown]] power station is now). There (or rather, at neighbouring Wormeley's, across the creek) he met with old acquaintances before moving on, borrowing a horse, to [[Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown]], finally reaching his destination, Sir [[William Berkeley (governor)|William Berkeley]]'s house at [[Green Spring Plantation]], about the middle of February.
There is independent verification of the disastrous voyage, although different in several details from Norwood's account, in a petition to the High Court of Admiralty in 1650, by dependents of crew members, against the captain and owners of ''The Virginia Merchant''.<ref>HCA 15/5 f.99 {{cite web |url= http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Tools:_HCA_1/50#Images_and_transcriptions |title=Marine Lives (wiki) |date=4 March 2015 |access-date=30 April 2016}}.

By Norwood's own account, Berkeley provided him with money to purchase the office of Treasurer of Virginia and, in May 1650, he went to Holland to do that. Although the King [[Charles II of England#Early life, civil war and exile|Charles II]] was in Scotland following the [[Treaty of Breda (1650)|Treaty of Breda]], he apparently granted a patent appointing Norwood as ''Escheator, Treasurer and Receiver of Quit Rents in Virginia''.<ref>{{cite book |editor-last=Mcilwaine |editor-first=H.R. |year=1924 |title=Minutes of the Council and General Court of Colonial Virginia |pages=492–493|url=https://archive.org/stream/minutesofcouncil00virg#page/492 }}</ref> That closes Norwood's account of his ''purpose to seek (his) fortune in Virginia'' and it is not clear whether he ever returned there. The tension between Virginia and the Parliament in England culminating in the surrender of the colony on 12 March 1652 (but not ending then) probably precluded that, at least until the re-election of Sir William Berkeley in 1660.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/English_Civil_Wars_and_Virginia_The#start_entry |title=Encyclopedia Virginia, The English Civil Wars and Virginia |last1=Pestana |first1=Carla |access-date=3 May 2016}}</ref> However, after the Restoration (if not before) Norwood continued to receive the benefit of the quit rents for some years, an income difficult to estimate because of the collection difficulties, but several hundred pounds each year until 1669, and a smaller amount thereafter.<ref name=Trye /> Moryson acted as his agent (and, in effect, as Treasurer of Virginia).<ref>{{cite book |last=Webb |first=Steven Saunders |title=The Governors-General |publisher=University of North Carolina Press |date=1979|isbn=9781469600017 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AL3qCQAAQBAJ}} The url is given for identification only.</ref>
;English Interregnum
After his departure for Holland in May 1650, little is known of Norwood's movements for a short spell. His appointment as Treasurer in Virginia is recorded as dated 22 September 1650.<ref>{{cite book |title=Calendar of Treasury Books 1681-1685 Vol VII |pages=304–305 |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=njp.32101073590554;view=1up;seq=398}}</ref> Charles II left Holland on 2 June 1650 (it being, thus, unlikely but not impossible that Norwood could have seen him before then) and landed in Scotland on 24 June. It is very unlikely that Norwood went to Scotland, as some secondary sources suggest; the Scots severely restricted the English (and others) who were allowed access to the king.<ref>{{cite book |title=Clarendon's History of the Rebellion, Book XIII |publisher=Oxford University Press |date=1839 |volume=VII |pages=434–436 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_qE9AAAAcAAJ}}</ref> Nevertheless, it is said that the appointment was sealed at St Johnstoun, [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]].<ref>Trye, Capt J H, as above, says ''Fort'' Johnstown, but St Johnstoun is given in the Treasury Calendar. The Calendar record is of a later investigation; there does not appear to be a surviving record of the warrant itself. The translation (Latin to English) in The Virginia Historical Magazine, Volume XIV (1907) at page 268, does not show the place.</ref> on 22 September 1650. The King was there: he had been taken to Perth after the Scots had been heavily defeated at [[Battle of Dunbar (1650)|Dunbar]] on 2 September 1650. Hence, the issue of a patent at the given place and time is possible; the presence of Norwood, the patentee, is highly unlikely. It is more likely that he was in England, as others suggest.
There is no (known) record of Norwood's activities in the latter part of 1650 or in 1651. The assertion that he returned to Virginia seems to be based on the account given later by Edmund Custis on examination by [[John Thurloe]] in 1655<ref>{{cite book |title=Thurloe Papers, volume xxii |url=https://archive.org/stream/collectionofstat03thur#page/82 |page=82}}</ref> but that was to some extent a cover story for their firearms activity, and is nowhere corroborated. On 9 April 1652 Norwood was in England: He was under arrest in Kent, under suspicion of complicity in the assassination of Dr [[Isaac Dorislaus]].<ref>{{cite book |title=CSP, Domestic, 1652 |volume=XXIV |url=https://archive.org/stream/cu31924091770374#page/n305 |pages=214, 250}}</ref> Dorislaus, regarded as a regicide for his role in the trial of Charles I, had been killed at the Hague on 12 May 1649. Again, if Norwood's Virginia account is truthful, he could not have been involved in that, and no direct link has been shown. He was released some time later without trial.
In late December 1654, Norwood was involved in the purchase and transport of firearms to [[Sir Henry Lyttelton, 2nd Baronet|Sir Henry Lyttelton]] (and, perhaps, others), almost certainly as part of the preparation for risings in conjunction with the [[Penruddock uprising]]. He was imprisoned in the Tower, questioned several times by Thurloe,<ref>{{cite book |title=A Collection of the State Papers of John Thurloe, Esq |editor-last=Birch |editor-first=Thomas |date=1742 |volume=3 |pages=65–130 |url=https://archive.org/stream/collectionofstat03thur#page/64"}}</ref> and (reportedly) by Cromwell himself.<ref>{{cite book |title=Cromwelliana |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VnpEAAAAcAAJ |publisher=Machell Stace |date=1810 |place=London |page=150}}</ref> No charge was brought (as no charge was brought against Lyttelton) but he was imprisoned in the Tower and in September 1656 he petitioned Thurloe for his release.<ref>{{cite book |title=A Collection of the State Papers of John Thurloe, Esq |editor-last=Birch |editor-first=Thomas |date=1742 |volume=5 |pages=417–418 |url=https://archive.org/stream/collectionofstat05thur#page/426"}}</ref> He was in a state of some poverty and, in March 1657, his debt to the warders was paid by the state.<ref>{{cite book |title=CSP Domestic, 1657 |volume=CLIII |url=https://archive.org/stream/cu31924091770440#page/n9/ |page=291}}</ref> Thereafter, he was granted an allowance of 10 shillings per day for his subsistence.<ref>{{cite book |title=CSP Domestic, 1657 |volume=CLVI |url=https://archive.org/stream/cu31924091770457#page/n9/|page=108}}</ref> While in the Tower, Norwood was able to correspond with William Rumbold, who was one of [[James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde|Ormonde's]] and [[Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon|Chancellor Hyde's]] agents in London.<ref>{{cite book |title=Clarendon State Papers |editor-last=Macray |editor-first=W Dunn |date=1874 |volume=III |page=134 |url=https://archive.org/stream/calendarofclaren03bodluoft#page/134/mode/2up }}</ref> At some point, Cromwell ordered him taken to Jersey, and he was imprisoned there until his release was authorised by [[Richard Cromwell]] in February 1659 (when Parliament ordered [[Robert Overton]] to be brought back from Jersey).<ref>{{cite book |title=Diary of Thomas Burton, Esq |editor-last=Rutt |editor-first=John T |date=1828 |volume=iv |page=162 |url= https://archive.org/stream/diaryofthomasbur04burtuoft#page/162/mode/2up}}. The warrant cited in ''Burton'' is probably incorrectly dated as 8 January 1655/56; Norwood and Overton were delivered there on 9 February 1658 (CSP Navy).</ref>
Norwood's release from Jersey was conditional; he was not to come into England without leave; he was not to act abroad against the Commonwealth; and he was required to put up a surety for £500. He was soon in England (without leave) and was in frequent contact with Hyde and the Court in exile. He went to Shropshire (attempting to raise troops) and Cheshire in July 1659 and was captured, with Sir [[George Booth, 1st Baron Delamer|George Booth]] at Winnington Bridge. However, his identity was not revealed, and he was soon released.<ref>{{cite book |title=Clarendon State Papers Volume IV|editor1-last=Routledge |editor1-first=F J |editor2-last=Firth |editor2-first=Sir Charles |date=1932 |pages=360, 407 |url=https://archive.org/stream/calendarofclaren04bodluoft#page/n3/mode/2up}}</ref> In March 1660, Norwood went from England to Brussels, to the king, and returned with letters. At about that time (on 24 March 1660) he was given a warrant as an Esquire of the Body (which required him, later, to attend the Coronation of Charles II).<ref>{{cite book |title=Coronation of King Charles II |last=Walker |first=Sir Edward |place=London |date=1820 |pages=88, 125 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7b1VAAAAcAAJ}}</ref> On 21 April 1660 [[Samuel Pepys]] met him, and was instructed (by his patron, [[Edward Montagu, 1st Earl of Sandwich|Edward Montagu]]) to give Norwood a convoy to [[Brielle|Brill]] but not to enter it in the record, Pepys deducing that he was going to the King, then at Breda.<ref>{{cite book |title=Diary of Samuel Pepys |url=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/4200/4200-h/4200-h.htm}}, at 21 April 1660 and 3 May 1660.</ref> Upon the Restoration, in addition to being an [[Esquire of the Body]], he was made Captain (for life) of [[Sandown Castle, Kent|Sandown Castle]], a largely honorary title (but carrying a stipend) the Castle being partly ruinous with a merely nominal garrison.<ref>{{cite book |title=CSP Domestic Charles II - volume 39: July 1661 |editor-last=Green |editor-first=Mary Anne Everett |place=London |date=1861|pages= 31–54 |publisher=British History Online |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/cal-state-papers/domestic/chas2/1661-2/pp31-54 |access-date=8 May 2016}}</ref> In September 1661, he was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel in Rutherfurd's Regiment in Dunkirk, then an English possession<ref name="Dalton's">{{cite book |title=Dalton's English Army Lists and Commission Register |date=1892 |publisher=Eyre & Spottiswoode |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc2.ark:/13960/t3320712j }}</ref> and in about March 1662 became Deputy Governor there.<ref name="Dalton's" />
;Tangier
In 1664 he was posted to [[Tangier]] as Colonel of the [[Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey)|Queen's Royal Regiment]], the known as the Tangier Regiment of Foot, who provided a garrison for the town. Tangier had been part of the dowry of [[Catherine of Braganza]] when she married [[Charles II of England]] in 1662, but was constantly under threat of attack by native forces.
In June 1666 he took over as [[Governor of Tangier]] from [[John, Baron Belasyse]], who as a devout Catholic had felt unable to accept the [[Act of Uniformity 1662|Act of Uniformity]] and resigned. He returned to England himself in 1669, replaced as colonel and governor by [[John Middleton, Earl of Middleton]].
;Parliament [[File:Leckhampton Court Geograph-2534895-by-Michael-Dibb.jpg|thumb|[[Leckhampton Court]], Gloucestershire]] Once back in England he disposed of his Virginia Treasury post on terms which ensured a continuing share of the profits and acquired instead the position of Warden of the Fleet Prison, employing a deputy to deal with the actual functions of the office. He bought [[Leckhampton Court]], near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire from his cousin Francis Norwood and moved in, becoming thereafter involved in the somewhat divisive local politics. He was elected an alderman of Gloucester for life in April 1672 and elected [[Mayor of Gloucester|Mayor of the city]] later that year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1660-1690/member/norwood-henry-1614-89|title=NORWOOD, Henry (c.1614-89), of Leckhampton, Glos|publisher= History of Parliament Online|access-date= 2 July 2016}}</ref>
In a disputed by-election in 1675 he was returned as the [[Member of Parliament]] for [[Gloucester (UK Parliament constituency)|Gloucester]] but was not declared duly elected for another three years. Not a very active member, he did not seek re-election in 1679. He was also appointed a Deputy-Lieutenant for the county in 1683, serving as such, with a short break, until his death.
He died unmarried on 14 September 1689 and was buried in St Peter's churchyard, Leckhampton, having devised his Leckhampton estate to the sons of the cousin from whom he had bought it.
