 In 1670 Robert Raworth purchased the manor of Throcking in Hertfordshire, which passed to his daughter Frances Elwes on his death in c.1676.  At her own death in 1678 the manor passed to her son, Robert's grandson, Jeremy Elwes.

 Robert Raworth's father and elder brother were prominent in the administration of Dover and the Cinque Ports, as town clerks of Dover, for a period of more than fifty years (1601-1657), with good connections in London to court, legal and commercial circles [TBC].  The town clerk role appears to have involved legal as well as commercial and administrative tasks.
