About Sir William Godolphin, 1st Baronet
Sir William Godolphin, 1st Baronet, of Godolphin in Cornwall, was an English landowner, politician, and Member of Parliament. He was the eldest son of Sir Francis Godolphin, KB, who had been a Member of Parliament until being barred from sitting because of his Royalist sympathies during the Civil War, and who after the Restoration was knighted in reward for his loyalty. Probably also in token of Sir Francis's services, William was created a baronet on 29 April 1661.
