Sir Robert Kitchen (alt. Kytchen) was Alderman of Bristol. He died on 19 June 1594.[1] He gifted one of the four bronze 'nails' (merchants' counting tables) to The Exchange in Bristol.
Abel Kitchin, later Mayor of Bristol, was one of his four executors.[2] It is not known if Robert Kitchin, who was originally from Kendal, was Abel Kitchin's father or uncle.[3]
