Footnotes

  • 1. Avery Gill (Gyll) is mentioned as abbot of Buckfast in 1512 but was dead by 1525. See Dom John Stéphan OSB, History of Buckfast Abbey (1970), pp 181–6.
  • 2. Arnold Guy (Gye), a Cistercian monk, was ordained priest on 23 September 1503, proceeded BTh at Oxford 1518 and was subsequently provisor (prefect) of St Bernard's College, Oxford c1528–32. In 1539 he was prior of Buckfast Abbey and as such signed the deed of surrender. See Emden BRUO 1501–1540 and Dom John Stéphan OSB, History of Buckfast Abbey (1970), pp 176–7.
  • 3. An Augustinian canon, Thomas Beale was prior of St Mary's Oxford in 1508; BTh 1508, D Th 1515; subsequently of St Mary's Hospital Bishopsgate; canon of St Paul's 1521; Bishop of Lydda (acting as suffragan to Bishop Fitzjames of London) 1521–30 when he died (Emden, BRUO to 1500 and Foster, Alumni Oxonienses 1500–1714).
  • 4. Bowry appears as prior of the Crutched Friars in London in 1512 and 1527 (VCH London, I, 516).
  • 5. Perhaps the William Robinson who was elected master of the Hospital of St Augus- tine Pappey in 1519 (VCH London, I, 550).
  • 6. Perhaps the William Bromer of St Leonard Foster Lane who was ordained subdeacon on 22 December 1515, deacon 16 February 1516 and priest (on the title of Southwark Priory) 8 March 1516 (Davis, 15803).
  • 7. It is unclear whether 'Magister' or 'Master' is intended here, as with subsequent use of the title for laymen entered under this year. The contraction has not therefore been expanded for clerks or laymen.
  • 8. The designation of Robert Jones as 'Master' makes it probable that this is the indi- vidual who became a gentleman of the Chapel Royal between 1511 and 1520 and who remained on its strength until c1535 (New Grove Dictionary).
  • 9. Perhaps the John Pope who was parish clerk of St Nicholas Shambles in 1519 (Mc Murray, Index).
  • 10. Perhaps the Thomas Snow who was parish clerk of St Dunstan in the West in 1525 (Mc Murray, Index).
  • 11. A Richard Basse was parish clerk of St Peter Cheap in 1518 (Baillie, Biographical Notes) and another of the same name is recorded at St Andrew Hubbard in 1521 (Mc Murray, Index). It is worth noting that Thomas Alciter (Alsetur), previous parish clerk of St Peter Cheap appears among deaths for 1519 (598). Baillie's iden- tification of this Basse with the 'late warden' of the Assumption guild at Westminster in 1516 is dubious.
  • 12. Also among deaths for 1519 (598). A Thomas Johnson is noted as an organ player in the churchwardens' accounts of St Margaret Pattens for 1518–21 (Baillie, Biographical Notes) but the name is common.
  • 13. There are apparently two individuals named Peter Best either of whom might be the individual recorded here. One was parish clerk of St Martin Orgar in 1518 (Mc Murray, Index). Another was a chorister at St Olave Hart Street in 1512–3 until impressed for the choir at Westminster Abbey and appears as a singing man at St Margaret Westminster in 1522–4 (Baillie, Biographical Notes).
  • 14. Perhaps the clerk of St Margaret Westminster noted there among the church- wardens' accounts for 1514–5 (F Kisby, 'Music and Musicians of early Tudor Westminster', Early Music (May 1995), p 235) who appears as a conduct at St Mary at Hill in 1521–2 (Baillie, Biographical Notes).
  • 15. A Thomas Adams is noted as one of the parish clerks in the churchwardens accounts for St Margaret Westminster in 1534–6. See Baillie, Biographical Notes, who fails, however, to note the possible connection with the Adams on BR.
  • 16. Christian name written over an erasure.
  • 17. Presumably the John Millet (Myllett), Clerk of the King's Signet, citizen and mercer, who requested burial with his two deceased wives in the church of St Martin Vintry by his will of 5 February, proved 27 February, 1524 (PROB 11/21, f. 142r). His late wives mentioned there are Agnes and Rose and a Mistress Rose Millet is noted among deaths for 1519 (601). His third wife Elizabeth survived him.
  • 18. Probably the son and executor of William Isaac, alderman and draper (595, 600), mentioned in the latter's will of 1 July 1518, proved 27 May 1519 (PROB 11/19, f. 127v).
  • 19. Among deaths for 1519 below (600). William Isaac, alderman 1487–1503 and five times master of the Drapers was entered posthumously, having died on 10 September 1518 (Beaven, II, 18). He requested burial in the church of St Dunstan in the East by his will of 1 July 1518 (PROB 11/19, f. 127v). His son John, mentioned in his will, and an Elizabeth Isaac were admitted at the same time (595, 596).
  • 20. A Thomas Rawson is mentioned as the second son of Christopher Rawson, mercer and merchant of the Staple in the latter's will of 30 September 1518, enrolled 24 February 1519 (Hustings Roll 238 (68) ed Sharpe, Calendar of wills, II, 627–8). Several other members of this family are noted on BR.
  • 21. William Pavier (Paver), common clerk of London 1514–33, when he hanged himself. His wife Dorothy Pavier (Paver) was admitted with him below (596). On 31 May 1511, a William and Dorothy Pavier (Pavyer) were admitted to the Frater- nity of the Holy Trinity, Luton (see ff. 1v and 49r of the guild book at Luton Museum) and are apparently the same couple. He was warden of the Jesus guild at St Paul's 1530–2 (New, Cult of the Holy Name of Jesus, p 415).
  • 22. Probably the William Aunsby (Awnesby), citizen and butcher, who was a parish- ioner of St Leonard Eastcheap, and who left a will of 9 October, proved 30 October, 1521 (PROB 11/20, f. 122v). His wife and executrix Margaret is mentioned there and a Margaret Aunsby was admitted with William below (596). See also Thomas Aunsby (600).
  • 23. A Ralph Sherwood (Schyrwode) brewer, of St Botolph Aldersgate, left a will of 19 May, proved 31 May, 1524 (Guildhall MS 9171/10, f. 44v). His wife Joan is mentioned there and a Joan Sherwood was admitted with Ralph above (596).
  • 24. Perhaps the Robert Hartop, citizen and goldsmith, who requested burial in the Lady chapel of St Vedast by his will of 25 February, proved 28 April, 1555 (PROB 11/37, f. 175r). His wife and executrix Joan is mentioned there and a Joan Hartop (Hartofe) was admitted with Robert in 1519 (596).
  • 25. Administration of the goods of Peter Holgrave (after the will was renounced) was granted on 5 April 1519 (Guildhall MS 9168/6, ff. 43v, 44r). His widow is named there as Joan and a Joan Holgrave was admitted with Peter below (596).
  • 26. It is not clear whether Elizabeth was the wife of William or John Isaac above (595).
  • 27. Wife of William Pavier (Paver) above (595). Presumably the Dorothy Pavier (Paver) widow, who requested burial in the church of St Bartholomew the Great by her will of 20 September, proved 5 October, 1548 (PROB 11/32, f. 104r), as her Christian name is so uncommon, although the name of her late husband is not given there. A member of the Holy Trinity guild at Luton in 1511. She also had connec- tions with Watford, Herts.
  • 28. See William Aunsby above (595).
  • 29. See Ralph Sherwood above (595).
  • 30. See Nicholas Darley among admissions for 1516 (563).
  • 31. See John Hartop (Hartofe) above (595).
  • 32. See Peter Holgrave above (595).
  • 33. John Marlow was abbot of the Cluniac house in Bermondsey from 1473 (VCH Surrey, II, 77). He may be identical with the John Marlow admitted with other priests in 1481 (224). VCH Surrey gives his date of death as 1516, but this is clearly incorrect, and may be a date of resignation. It is just possible that he is also the John Marlow, previously a monk of Westminster, admitted in the year Michaelmas 1458–9 who disappears from the records there after 1472–3 (Pearce, p 156) but without any indication of his death occurring. We are grateful to Barbara Harvey for help on this last point.
  • 34. Sir Robert Reed (Rede), a graduate of Magdalene College, Cambridge became Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in 1506 and requested burial within the chapel of St Katherine in the Charterhouse by his wills of 29 and 31 December 1518, proved 24 January 1519 (PROB 11/19, f. 97r). See also DNB.
  • 35. Perhaps the James Usher, gentleman, of London, who left a will of 30 May, proved 17 September, 1518 (PROB 11/19, f. 74r).
  • 36. Thomas Aunsby (Awnesby), citizen and butcher, requested burial in the proces- sional way before the image of St Katherine at St Clement Eastcheap by his will of 8 July 1518, proved 18 February 1519 (PROB 11/19, f. 114r). He left 3s 4d to the parish clerks' fraternity. See also William and Margaret Aunsby above (595, 596).
  • 37. Baillie, Biographical Notes, identifies How as the master organ builder who serv- iced most of the organs in London churches but the name is too common to admit of any such certainty.
  • 38. Perhaps the John Quilter (Quylter), citizen and fuller, who requested burial in the pardon churchyard of St Dunstan in the East by his will of 24 August, proved 27 October, 1518 (PROB 11/19, f. 83r).
  • 39. Perhaps the Nicholas Allday (Alday), citizen and grocer, who requested burial in the south chapel of St Botolph Billingsgate by his will of 21 September, proved 6 October, 1518 (PROB 11/19, f. 78v).
  • 40. This is the usual form of Michael found on BR, and so the contraction in the MS has been expanded to 'gh' in the middle of the name.
  • 41. Deceased wives of laymen.
  • 42. See John Millet above (595).
  • 43. He is probably the parish clerk of this name admitted to the fraternity in 1507 (460), but may be the other William Bright admitted in 1502 (402).
  • 44. Probably Thomas Jay, monk of Westminster (professed 1501, priest 24 March 1509, BTh 1512, treasurer and bailiff 1514–28, prior 1528 and still alive in the year Michaelmas 1535–6). See Pearce, p 178, Emden, BRUO 1501–1540 and Davis, 12590.
  • 45. Perhaps the Nicholas Ashley (Achilley) from London diocese ordained deacon on 3 April, and priest 18 September, 1518 on the title of St Mary's Hospital Bish- opsgate (Davis, 15281).
  • 46. Probably the Robert Dingley who was parish clerk of St Mary Magdalen Milk Street in 1520 (Mc Murray, Index).
  • 47. Seated at Annery in Monkleigh, Devon, the St Legers later acquired the London inn of the Abbot of St Augustine's Canterbury (St Leger House) in Southwark after the Dissolution (Stow, Survey, ed Kingsford, II, 65). This is apparently the George St Leger knighted in 1513 (Shaw, Knights of England, II, 41) although not so noticed here. His wife and daughter, both named Anne, were admitted with him (607).
  • 48. A Francis Baldwin (Bawdwen), citizen and draper of London, left a will of 6 September 1513, proved 19 September 1522 (PROB 11/20, f. 193r).

  • 51. Probably the Alexander Plymley (Plymbley), citizen and mercer, who requested burial in the church of St Matthew Friday Street (if he died in London), where his late wife Agnes was buried, by his will of 16 July 1532, proved 6 September 1533 (PROB 11/25, f. 42r). An Agnes Plymley was admitted with Alexander below (607).
  • 52. Benedict de Opitiis (Odicius), organist and composer, who after service in Antwerp was resident in England from 1516–24. He appears at the court of Henry VIII in July 1516 as a player of the organ. By his will of 19 August (not 14 August as in New Grove Dictionary), proved 16 September, 1524 (Guildhall MS 9171/10, f. 52v) he requested burial in the church of All Hallows the Great 'nexte the Stylyerd', the Hanseatic quarter.
  • 53. Probably the Robert Collier, mercer and parishioner of All Hallows Honey Lane, who left a will of 30 June, proved 6 September, 1522 (PROB 11/20, f. 214r), of which Alexander Plymley (606), also admitted in 1520, was an executor. The will mentions Collier's wife, Elizabeth, and an Elizabeth Collier was admitted with Robert below (607).
  • 54. Perhaps the John Grindall (Gryndelle), citizen and butcher, who requested burial in the church of St Clement Eastcheap by his will of 30 November, proved 18 December, 1534 (PROB 11/25, f. 219v). His wife and executrix Agnes, is mentioned there, and an Agnes Grindall was admitted with John below (607).
  • 55. Perhaps the Thomas Argall, son of Emma, widow of John Argall, of Lambeth, Surrey, to whom she left a garnish of new pewter vessels and 20 pairs of her best sheets by her will of 11 January, proved 19 February, 1522, of which he was an executor (PROB 11/20, f. 168v).
  • 56. Perhaps the Robert Caporne (Capurne), mercer, of London, who requested burial in the Observants' church at Antwerp by his will of 2 June 1519, proved 11 June 1520 (PROB 11/19, f. 242r).
  • 57. John Wendon (Whendon/Wenden), grocer, requested burial in St George's chapel within St Mary Colechurch by his will of 28 May, proved 30 May, 1543 (PROB 11/29, f. 161r). He left 6s 8d to the 'Company of clerks in London' to be distributed among poor men.
  • 58. Wife of George St Leger above (606). Her testament of 12 April 1530 was proved 2 December 1532 (PROB 11/24, f. 157v). She was the daughter of Edmund Knyvet and a sister of Sheen and Syon abbeys.
  • 59. Daughter of George and Anne St Leger above (606, 607).
  • 60. See Harry Sutch (Sushe) above (606).
  • 61. See Alexander Plymley above (606). If Agnes is identifiable with his wife, she was dead before 16 July 1532.
  • 62. See Robert Collier (Colyar) above (606).
  • 63. See John Grindall above (606).
  • 64. Peter Potkyn of New Inn Hall, Oxford 1501–6, proceeded DCL 1510. An advocate of the Court of Arches, he was rector of St Mary Bothaw 1506–16 and of St Leonard Eastcheap 1516–20 when he died on 1 May (Emden, BRUO to 1500). By his will proved 25 May 1520 he requested burial in the chancel of the latter (PROB 11/20, f. 8v).
  • 65. Presumably the Roger Basford, alderman 1510–20 and sheriff 1514, who was master of the Mercers in 1520 (Beaven, II, 22). He left a will of 31 May 1518 (codicil 2 May 1520), proved 23 May 1520 (PROB 11/20, f. 6v).
  • 66. Perhaps the David Cooper, notary public, who requested burial in the church of St Martin [?Vintry] by his will of 21 April, proved 2 May, 1520 (PROB 11/19, f. 202v).
  • 67. A William Allen (Aleyn), citizen and mercer, and a parishioner of St Clement Eastcheap, requested burial in his grandfather John Allen's tomb at the church of St Martin Vintry if he died in London. His will of 15 November 1519 was proved 21 January 1520 (PROB 11/19, f. 188r).
  • 68. See John North among deaths for 1518 (588).
  • 69.

She had clearly carried on her former husband's business as a currier, as she left bequests of material from her craft (leather and tallow), as well as leaving 10s to the curriers' fellowship for a breakfast. Agnes is apparently the widow of Hugh Philcock, parishioner of the above church, since an Agnes is mentioned as his wife in Hugh's will of 3 October, proved 11 November, 1506 (PROB 11/15, f. 125r). He is among admissions for 1502 (405) and deaths for 1507 (407).
  • 70. Christopher Urswick, son of John Urswick, lay brother of Furness Abbey, was chaplain and confessor to Lady Margaret Beaufort and afterwards to Henry VII whom he accompanied to Bosworth Field in 1485. A great pluralist, he was dean of York 1488–94 and of Windsor 1496–1505. Urswick retired to his living at Hackney, Middlesex, the church of which he rebuilt, and was buried in the chancel there before the image of St Augustine, when he died on 24 March 1522. His will was proved 11 April 1522 (PROB 11/20, f. 185v). See DNB and Emden, BRUC to 1500 and BRUO to 1500.
  • 71. A Richard Cooper (Cowper), warden of Guildhall Chapel, is noted in the will of Robert Tenett, another priest at Guildhall admitted in 1502 (401) who died in 1526. See Darlington, London Consistory Court Wills (98).
  • 72. Probably the William Motte (Mote) BD, who was rector of St Gabriel Fenchurch Street 1518–27 and of St Bride 1529–30, and possibly also curate of St Margaret Westminster in 1524 (Hennessy, pp 113, 288, 438 and lxx).
  • 73. A Master Hugh Bentley was a fellow of Queen's College, Oxford in 1512, when he proceeded MA, and later stipendiary priest at Clapham, Beds, in 1526 (Emden, BRUO 1501–1540).
  • 74. Probably the member of the Chapel Royal of this name, as he appears here with other musicians. Henry Stephenson was a yeoman of the vestry by 1503 and gentleman of the Chapel by 1509 until 1550 (Biographical Dictionary of English Court Musicians).
  • 75. Possibly the Thomas Cheyney who was a member of Lady Margaret Beaufort's chapel in 1508. More certainly the individual who was a gentleman of the Chapel Royal during 1520–1, being present at the Field of Cloth of Gold (Biographical Dictionary of English Court Musicians).
  • 76. Nicholas Ludford (c1490–1557) who was verger at St Stephen's Chapel, Westmin- ster by 1527, a post reserved for the principal musician there. He was buried in the churchyard of St Margaret Westminster on 9 August 1557, having served as churchwarden. Music by him is preserved in the British Library (see the Library's Index of Manuscripts) and the Lambeth Choirbook (Lambeth Palace Library: MS 1). His will of 4 May, completed 1 August, was proved 22 November, 1557 (West- minster City Archives: Peculiar Court of the Dean and Chapter (formerly the Abbot) of Westminster, Register Bracy f. 108r). See DNB Missing Persons and New Grove Dictionary.
  • 77. A William Waleston was on the musical establishment of Fotheringhay College, Northants, appearing as a fellow in the master's accounts for 1528–9 (Northamp- tonshire Record Office: Westmorland (Apethorpe) papers, 5.v.4/2) and may possibly be the same individual as the name is uncommon. We are grateful to Dr David Skinner for access to his list of Fotheringhay personnel.
  • 78. Perhaps identifiable with the John Norman who was a clerk at St Thomas's Chapel, London Bridge from 1528–34. A composer of this name was active during the 1520s (Baillie, Biographical Notes).
  • 79. Another clerk of this name was admitted in 1511 (511). A John Charles, parish clerk, is recorded at St George Southwark on 28 August 1534 when he witnessed the will of Philip Powell (London Metropolitan Archives: DW/PA/7/4, f. 86v). We owe this reference to Graham Dawson.
  • 80. The MS breaks off here, with the remaining entries for 1521 being lost. A further two folios with these entries and those for 1522 and 1523 were extant until the late nineteenth century when they were abstracted. The masters for 1522 (James How and John Harrison) and for 1523 (Richard Lye and Robert Smith) are known. See Christie, pp 40, 55.
