Lambarde, William (1536-1601)

English legal expert and archivist. His best-known work, A Perambulation of Kent, 1576, was the first published county history. In 1600 he was made keeper of the Tower of London records.

Lambarde was admitted to Lincoln's Inn, in London, to study law in 1556. His legal works include a collection and translation of Saxon laws (1568) and a manual for justices of the peace entitled Eirenarcha (1581). He was also a philanthropist, and in 1574 founded a hospital for the poor in Greenwich.
