Sir Robert Kitchen (alt. Kytchen) was Alderman of Bristol. He died on 19 June 1594. 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.George Pryce, A Popular History of Bristol, p. 292.
