Footnotes

  • 1. Senior master in 1503, where he is identified as parish clerk of St Margaret Moses (412).
  • 2. A common name. A William Cox was rector of St Margaret New Fish Street 1472–1512, when he died (Hennessy, p 275) but another priest of this name was admitted in 1474 (159).
  • 3. Several clerks or conducts of this name are noted in Baillie, Biographical Notes. The identifications offered there are speculative.
  • 4. A John Tuke is noted as a clerk of the second form from Michaelmas 1486 to 21 December 1492 and master of the choristers and organ player at St George's Chapel, Windsor. See R Bowers, Lists of Windsor personnel deposited at St George's Chapel Archives.
  • 5. Among deaths for 1509 (492). Probably the John Cross of St Margaret Westminster whose wife is mentioned as the recipient of wages for washing the church's linen and vestments in the churchwardens' accounts from 1500–6 (Westminster City Archives: E1 (microfilm), pp 422, 452, 488 and 514). This was a traditional task of the parish clerk or his wife.
  • 6. Junior master and parish clerk of St Bride in 1503 (412). It is unlikely that the John Burbridge (Burbrig) who was clerk of St Andrew Hubbard in 1523–5 is the same man (contra Baillie, Biographical Notes) although he might be related.
  • 7. Among deaths for 1504 (431). John Wryth, Garter King of Arms, who requested burial in the choir of St Giles Cripplegate with his late wife Elinor by his will of 30 March, proved 30 April, 1504 (PROB 11/14. f. 71v). Clerks (i.e. parish clerks) who attended his funeral were to be paid 'after the rate', namely the rate set by their Fraternity of St Nicholas. On the fees charged under the ordinances of 1553, see Christie, pp 149–50. Elinor was admitted with him in 1487 (281).
  • 8. Thomas Holme, Kt, Clarenceux King of Arms, who granted arms to the parish clerks' fraternity in 1482. See FW Steer, The Armorial Bearings of the Worshipful Company of Parish Clerks of London, (privately printed, 1975), p 1. The grant is in the Museum of London. Holme's death is not recorded on BR.
  • 9. Among deaths for 1487 (285). Robert Drope, master of the Drapers 1477 and 1482; alderman 1468–87, mayor 1474 (Beaven, II, 13; Thrupp, p 337). By his will (codicil 19 June) proved 19 October 1487 he requested burial in the tomb he had erected in the choir of St Michael Cornhill and left 20s to the parish clerks' frater- nity (PROB 11/8, f. 32r).
  • 10. A Henry Mayre (Mayour) was admitted to the Scriveners' fraternity in 1481, served as clerk and beadle of the Goldsmiths in 1486–92 and of the Merchant Taylors from 1493 until after 1512. See M Davies The Merchant Taylors' Company of London: Court Minutes 1486–1493 (2000), pp 10–2.
  • 11. Among deaths for 1498 (368). Probably the Thomas Parker, citizen and leath- erseller, of St Olave, Southwark whose wife Agnes is described as deceased in his will of 30 November, proved 13 December, 1497 (PROB 11/7, f. 127v). An Agnes Parker was also admitted in 1487 and is among deaths for 1498 (281, 369). Parker had however, married another wife Elizabeth by the time his will was drawn up.
  • 12. Among deaths for 1501 (396). Probably the Thomas Garnet, citizen and armourer, of London who requested burial in the church of St Mary Magdalene, Southwark, by his will of 27 September, proved 14 October, 1500 (London Metropolitan Archives: DW/PA/7/2, f. 71r). His wife Elizabeth is mentioned there and an Eliza- beth Garnet was admitted with Thomas below (281).
  • 13. Among deaths for 1499 (377). Probably the Henry Sherwood, citizen and fuller, who requested burial in the church of St Swithin by London Stone and was born in Saffron Walden, Essex. He left a will of 30 July 1498 (Guildhall MS 9171 8. f. 187v) and probate was granted to his widow Alice later that year (Guildhall MS 9168/1, f. 79v). An Alice Sherwood (Scherewode) was admitted with Henry above (281).
  • 14. Among deaths for 1511 (518). Perhaps the Henry Front (Fronte/Frounte) of St Olave Silver Street whose will was proved on 26 May 1511 (Guildhall MS 9168/3, f. 52r).
  • 15. Among deaths for 1507 (467). He was churchwarden of St Mary at Hill in 1492–3. See H Littlehales, The medieval records of a London city church, Early English Text Society (1905), p 182. A citizen and fishmonger, Howting requested burial in the above church within the chapel of St Katherine by his will of 17 August, proved 3 September, 1506 (PROB 11/15, f. 99v). His wife Margaret, mentioned there, was admitted with him in 1487 (281).
  • 16. Among deaths for 1491 (314). Probably the Thomas March who requested burial in the church of St Mary Magdalene, Southwark by his will (no date of probate) of 8 January 1490 (PROB 11/8, f. 217r). His wife Elizabeth is mentioned there and an Elizabeth March was admitted with Thomas in 1487 (281).
  • 17. Among deaths (as Wesbery) for 1488 (293). Probably the David Westbury, citizen and woodmonger, who requested burial close to his wife in the church of St Andrew Hubbard by his will of 2 January, proved 23 January, 1488 (Guildhall MS 9171/7, f. 106v).
  • 18. Among deaths (as Peparde) for 1504 (431). Presumably the William Pippard, waxchandler, of St Lawrence Jewry who died before 2 May 1504 and whose widow Elizabeth renounced the administration of his will (Guildhall MS 9168/2, f. 17v). See Elizabeth Pippard below (281).
  • 19. The title is incorrect, as there is one unmarried woman, Margaret Marshall, among the wives of the laity listed below.
  • 20. Among deaths below (286). This is the Dame Margaret Alley (Halley) who, after the death of her previous husband Clement Lyffyn in 1450 (29) married Richard Alley, alderman and skinner and subsequently Adam Castlehill. By her will of 23 June, proved 28 November, 1486 she requested burial with Lyffyn in the Lady chapel of St Michael Cornhill and left 6s 8d to the parish clerks' and Pappey frater- nities respectively (Guildhall MS 9171/7, f. 60r).
  • 21. Elizabeth, wife of Sir Thomas Holme, also admitted in 1487 (280). She acted as executrix of his will and was granted probate on 10 June 1494 (PROB 11/10, f. 69v).
  • 22. Among deaths for 1497 (361). Wife of John Wryth, Garter King of Arms, admitted above (280) and buried in St Giles Cripplegate (PROB 11/14, f. 71v).

  • 26. See Robert Howtyng above (280).

  • 29. Presumably the wife of William Pippard, admitted with Elizabeth in 1487 (280) and among deaths for 1504 (431). As the widow of Pippard, a waxchandler of St Lawrence Jewry, Elizabeth was cited to appear before the commissary court of London on 2 May 1504. Administration of the will was renounced on 4 May (Guildhall MS 9168/2, f. 17v).
