Portrait of Endymion Porter
Copyright Mickleton Community Archive
Mickleton Women’s Institute copy of the original painting by William Dobson which is held in the National Gallery. Endymion Porter (1587-1649) was the son of Edmund Porter of Aston-sub-Edge and his wife Angela, daughter of Giles Porter of Mickleton. He was a diplomat and a royalist, in service to Edward Villiers and then the Duke of Buckingham who recommended him as a Groom of the Bedchamber to Charles 1. He is probably best known locally, in Mickleton, for obtaining a suit of the King’s clothes for use by Robert Dover when opening his famous Cotswold Games on Dover’s Hill in neighbouring Weston-sub-Edge.
