Percy Bysshe Shelley

"The branch of the Shelley family to which the poet Percy Bysshe belonged traces its pedigree to Henry Shelley of Worminghurst, Sussex, who died in 1623. These Worminghurst or Castle Goring Shelleys are of the same stock as the Michelgrove Shelleys, who trace up to Sir William Shelley, judge of the common pleas under Henry VII,then to a member of parliament in 1415, and to the reign of Edward I, or even to the epoch of the Norman Conquest. The Worminghurst branch was a family of credit, but not of special distinction, until its fortunes culminated under the above-named Sir Bysshe."
