Robert Bromfield (died 1647) was an English timber merchant and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1621 and 1624.
Bromfield was described as a "woodmonger", in the diary of Philip Henslowe,[1] of whose will he was one of the overseers in 1616.[2] He leased a wharf in Southwark from 1601.[3]
In 1621, Bromfield was elected Member of Parliament for Southwark.[4] In the same year, he obtained a mortgage of Hammonds Place, Clayton Sussex, which by 1666 was in the hands of Sir Edward Bromfield, 2nd Baronet.[5] He was re-elected MP for Southwark in 1624. In 1625 Bromfield and Thomas Overman bought Montague House and Montague Close, including various wharves and buildings around Southwark Priory, from Anthony-Maria Browne, 2nd Viscount Montagu; Bromfield redeveloped the site to make the buildings "suitable for men of better ability".[6] He purchased Merton Grange, Merton for £2,100 in 1629.[7]
Bromfield probably died in 1647[8] and was buried in Lambourne Church, Essex.[9] He was related to Edward Bromfield, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1636 and was father of the first baronet.[6]
