Robert Honywood (1676 – January 1735) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons as Member of Parliament (MP) for Essex between 1716 and 1727. He served as vice-admiral of Essex from 1715 until his death in 1735.
Honywood was the first son of Charles Ludovic Honywood and Mary Clement; his brother was Sir Philip Honywood. He was also the grandson of Sir Robert Honywood, MP for New Romney, and a direct descendant of Mary Honywood.[1]
A Whig, Honywood was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Essex in 1716 after the result of the by-election in 1715 was reversed on petition, and held the seat until 1727.[2]
Honywood married Mary Sandford, daughter of Sir Richard Sandford, 2nd Baronet, and sister of Sir Richard Sandford, 3rd Baronet.[3] He inherited the Marks Hall estate from his distant cousin John Lamotte Honywood upon the remarriage of his widow.[1] [4] He had several children, including Richard, who inherited the estate, and Philip, who inherited the estate following the death of Richard's son, Richard.[5]
