Specialist note

The Stricklands acquired the Boynton estate in 1549 and were prominent Puritans in the Elizabethan period. They served Cromwell in the Civil War and both Sir William's grandfather and great-uncle served in Commonwealth parliament. The family survived the Restoration although Sir William was bound over to appear at the assizes in 1683, having helped in the escape of the Scottish Whig Sir John Cochrane. Sir William had been educated at Exeter College, Oxford and first entered parliament as M.P. for Malton in 1689 under the interest of his father-in-law. He was a member of parliament during the reigns of William and Mary, Queen Anne and George I. He did not take a very active role in the party but did serve on twelve committees and was a strong advocate for harsh punishment for those who had served under James II.
