Biography
Arthur was born in 1631. He was the son of William Elmes and Margaret Goodwin. He inherits Lilford Hall at the age of 10, which probably accounts for why the Hall did not suffer any damage during the English Civil War (1642-1646) since Arthur did not come of age until after the War had ended. He passed away in 1663 and is the last of the Elmes family
