Richard Archedale was born circa 1574 in Cuddesdon, Oxfordshire, son of Bernard and Anne (nee Ferne) Archedale. He gained his freedom of the Drapers' Company in 1596, having been apprenticed to his uncle, Matthew Archedale. He had tenements, possibly a warehouse, in Elbow Lane [also called College Street] in addition to family and property in Oxfordshire. He traded extensively in wine, chiefly French and Spanish, cloth, dried fruit, oil and spices with customers in London, Westminster and Southwark. Among his customers were many prominent City merchants and individuals involved in government, including Lord Mayor Richard Deane (1628-29) and alderman Richard Garway. He married Judith Thorpe, and died in 1638 in Chipping (High) Wycombe.
