Peter Temple was a regicide, c.1599-1663. Born at Sibson, Leicestershire, he was apprenticed to a linen draper, but inherited his family's estate at Temple Hall in Leicestershire after the deaths of his two older brothers. Temple was appointed to the Militia Committee for Leicestershire in January 1643 and became Sheriff of Leicestershire the following year. He held a military commission under Lord Grey of Groby, but was accused of cowardice. Wikipedia
