Men of Kent and Kentishmen/William Style
William Style,
LAWYER,
Belonged to an old Kentish family resident at Langley in Beckenham. He was the half-brother of Sir Humphrey Style, gentleman of the Privy Chamber to James I., and Cup-bearer to Charles I. He was bred to the law at the Inner Temple, and is known as the author of some valuable Reports of Cases in the King's (or as he, being a Parliamentarian, called it the Upper) Bench, extending from the years 1646 to 1655. They are the only records of the decisions of Rolle and Sir John Glyn, the able Chief Justices of Cromwell. He died Dec. 7th, 1679.
