Notes for Christopher"Kit" Wright:
Christopher (Kit) Wright
by David Herber
Born: 1570, Welwick, Yorkshire
Died: 8 November 1605, Holbeche House, Staffordshire
Christopher (Kit) Wright was the third and youngest son of Robert Wright of Plowland in Holderness,
and the second son of Robert's second wife Ursula Rudston of Hayton. He was probably born at
Plowland Hall in the parish of Welwick along with his elder brother John. He also attended the free
school of St Peter in York with John, Guy Fawkes, Oswald Tesimond, Edward Oldcorne, and Robert
Middleton.
Christopher was tall and strongly built, his large features having a somewhat ruddy tan. He was
discreet, a man of few words in fact, and well able to keep a secret. He was also devoted and fervent in
religious matters, and after he became a Catholic, lived a life that was exemplary. Tesimond also say's
of him, "He resembled his brother in all his valour and gallantry, and was a close and loyal friend of
Mr Catesby".
"He was very like to the other [his brother John] in conditions and qualities, and both esteemed and
tried to be as stout a man as England had, and withal a zealous Catholic and trusty and secret in any
business as could be wished".
Christopher Wright was married to Margaret Ward, sister of Marmaduke Ward of Mulwith who
married his sister Ursula Wright. He was thus brother-in-law to Thomas Ward, the servant in Lord
Monteagle's household who told the plotters about the letter. By her he had at least one son, John, who
married into the Busfield family of Lincolnshire. Henry Hawkes Spink, in his book The Gunpowder
Plot and Lord Mounteagle's Letter (London, 1902), makes the claim that four children born between
1589 and 1601 in the parish of Ripon were also his - Edward, baptised 6 October 1589; Elizabeth,
baptised 23 July 1594; Francis, baptised 12 July 1596; and Marmaduke, baptised 3 February 1601.
Spink uses this strong family connection between Christopher Wright, the Wards, and Monteagle as
