Robert Williams (11 February 1767 – 10 March 1847) was an English banker and politician.[1] He purchased the Bridehead estate near Dorchester, Dorset around 1797. It comprised the manor of Littlebredy, Bridehead being a name fabricated by Williams,[3] and in later years became the main family residence. He was elected an alderman (1796-1801) and sheriff of London for 1797-8. He was prime warden of the Goldsmiths’ Company in 1810-11, director of the Hope Assurance Company in 1820 and chairman of the company from 1826 to 1841. More information on the Wikipedia page [1]
