Peter Palmer (died 1621)

Peter Palmer (died 1621) was an English-born judge who served in Ireland for many years, into extreme old age.

He was born at Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, son of William Palmer (died 1595) and his wife Joyce, and grandson of Thomas Palmer.

Although he was described as an old man by 1611, he continued to go on assize in Leinster until 1618. He died in 1621, still in office, and is buried in St. Werburgh's Church, Dublin. His widow, whose family name was Newce, died in 1625. They appear to have had no children, and his heirs sold the Waddesdon property in 1623.
