Celebrating Hampshire HistoriansCluttterbuck, Robert Hawley1 January 1837 – 10 August 1896
Robert Hawley Clutterbuck was born to Charles Clutterbuck ‘citizen and draper of London’ and his wife Hannah, on the first day of 1837. He was ordained in 1864 and served at Plaistow and Clerkenwell before moving, in 1880, to St Mary Aldermanbury, City of London. Failing health, brought on by overwork, caused him to leave London and in 1882 he became Rector of Knight’s Enham, Hampshire, moving to the adjacent living of Penton Mewsey eight years later. He was twice married; first to Harriet Washington, with whom he had a son and three daughters. She died in 1875, and he later married Marianna Mansfield.

PortraitContribution to county’s historyClutterbuck published many pamphlets and articles in local newspapers, the Journal of the British Archaeological Association and the county journals for Hampshire, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. Regarding the history of the border parishes of Hampshire and Wiltshire he was ‘a perfect mine of information’ and his talks were ‘very well received’. He deciphered and printed the ancient borough records of Andover and transcribed the Black Book of Southampton. Relevant published works
