Urian Brereton was a Groom of the Privy Chamber to King Henry VIII. While in this role his older brother William Brereton, also a Groom of the Privy Chamber, was executed along with other conspirators for high treason and adultery with Ann Boleyn.[3]
In 1526 he was appointed Ranger of Delamere Forest and Escheator of Cheshire.[3] Brereton had a close personal relationship with Queen Anne, to the extent that she may have named one of her lap dogs after him.[4] Despite both the Queen's and his brother's execution he continued to enjoy the King's favour,[5] receiving the bulk of William's Cheshire estates—amounting to over 200 acres—from the King.[6] In 1538 he was appointed Sheriff of Flint,[7] and in July that year he became attorney to the King.[8] Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the King granted Brereton the assets of Newnham Priory and Chester Priory.[7] Brereton was knighted in 1544 by the Earl of Hertford for valour during the Burning of Leith.[3][9]
Brereton was responsible for the construction of Handforth Hall, where he died on 19 March 1577. He was buried in St Mary's Church, Cheadle.[9][10]
Brereton was the son of Sir Randle Brereton,[8] grandfather of Ambrose Barlow,[11] and great-grandfather of Sir William Brereton, 1st Baronet.[12]
