For other people named Thomas Cromwell, see Thomas Cromwell (disambiguation).
Thomas Cromwell (c. 1540 – c. 1611)[1] was an English Member of Parliament during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. His diaries of proceedings in the House of Commons are an important source for historians of parliamentary history during the period when he was a member, and Sir John Neale draws heavily upon them in his ground-breaking two-volume study of Elizabeth I and Her Parliaments (1953–1957).
