Sir Philip RYLEY d.1733
Biographical Note
Son of Wiliam Ryley (d. 1675), archivist. Appointed a serjeant-at-arms at the Treasury in 1684, and subsequently surveyor general of Crown woods and forests south of the Trent and an excise commissioner. He was knighted in 1728. As well as his main seat at Great Hockham in Norfolk, he owned property in Hampstead, London and Thetford.
Books
The content and the disposition of his books have not been established.
He had an engraved armorial bookplate (‘of Great Hockham, in the County of Norfolk, Esqr.’): Franks 25863, *230 (another impression), presumably dating from before the time of his knighthood in 1728.
