1st Clerke Baronet of Launde Abbey. Third son of George Clerke of Willoughby, Warwickshire, and was created a baronet in 1661, shortly after the Restoration. He was married to Sarah, daughter and heiress of George Talbot of Rudge, Shropshire. His greatest achievement was the application of the reverberatory furnace (cupola) to smelting lead and copper, and to remelting pig iron for foundry purposes.
