      Pledges: Gyrlington, Roger Manwod. The Act of Parliament of 29-Jan-1553 records the special admission of Richard Argall for 33s. 4d.
      Supposedly purchased East Sutton Park, near Maidstone in Kent, from John Tufton of Hothfield, but more likely inherited the estate from his father. Was married twice. His second marriage is recorded in the IGI. He inherited most of the family property when his father died in 1563 and was left 100 marks in his father's Will. On 16 September 1564, he was licensed by the Court of Wards to enter his father's estate. He married his second wife after this date. By 1580, he was frequently ill and was usually excused attendance on the commission of the peace. By virtue of the provisions in his father's Will, he succeeded his brother Lawrence in the office of registrar of the Preogative Court of Canterbury in 1585 and held the post until his own death in 1588/9.
      He wrote his Will on 6 June 1588 and was dead by the time it was proved on 12 February 1589. His own memorial in East Sutton Church reads: Richard Argall of East Sutton in the County of Kent, Esquire, deceased Anno Domini 1588, leaving five sonnes and six daughters living.
