The Brerewood family over several generations filled many public offices in Chester. In 1605 Brerewood was sent to Brasenose College, Oxford and was later admitted to Middle Temple. He was called to the bar on 13 November 1615, and practised for twenty-two years. He also published some of the literary works of his uncle Edward Brerewood. In 1637 he was appointed a judge of North Wales and was appointed reader at the Middle Temple in Lent term in 1638. He was chosen Recorder of Chester in 1639.[1] In April 1640, Brerewood was returned as Member of Parliament for Chester for the Short Parliament.[2] Also in 1640 Brerewood became serjeant-at-law and in 1641 he was appointed king's serjeant.
