Pemberton greatly benefited by his marriage and the political influence of Sir John Stanhope, the husband of his sister-in-law Margaret Macwilliam. His home was Hertingfordbury House, where he hosted King James and Anne of Denmark for a day in July 1605.[2]
Pemberton was Member of Parliament for Higham Ferrers in 1604 and Sheriff of Hertfordshire in 1615.
