  • Name: Longdill, Pynson Wilmot
  • Gender: Male
  • Birth Date:
  • Death Date: 1  May  1823
  • Occupation: lawyer

Longdill was Shelley's longtime lawyer and operated from 1 Holborn Court, Gray's Inn. However, Godwin had an independent relationship with him before he meets Shelley. Longdill's appearances in Godwin's diary cease at the same time as he ceases being referred to in Mary Shelley's journal. It is possible that he retired from business having been the beneficiary of a legacy from wealthy merchant John Corbould. His partnership with W. Butterfield was reported dissolved in January 1823 some months before his death.
