Richard Cobden

Cobden was born at a farmhouse called Dunford, in Heyshott near Midhurst, in Sussex. His family had been resident in that neighbourhood for many generations, occupied partly in trade and partly in agriculture. His grandfather (Richard Cobden, d. 1809) owned Bex Mill in Heyshott and was a maltster, an energetic and prosperous man who served as bailiff and chief magistrate, taking rather a notable part in county matters. His father (William Cobden), forsaking malting, took to farming and sold Dunford. A poor business man, he died while Richard was a child. His mother was Millicient Cobden (née Amber). Cobden was the fourth of eleven children.[2] In 1814 their farm was sold and eventually they settled in West Meon, near Alton in Hampshire.[3]
