Northampton (which had belonged to the late Queen Jane Seymour) on 12 July 1543, and established the family seat at Upton. He was married, evidently about 1530 when aged about forty, to Margery Quarles, daughter of John Quarles, of Ufford, Norfolk. They had two sons and a daughter. She predeceased her husband and was buried at Ufford. "Robert Wingfeld, esquire, Upton" died testate, apparently aged over eighty-five, at his manor of Upton, on 4 Feb 1575/6.
