Footnotes

  • 1. Also senior master in 1484 (249) and among deaths for 1491 (314). He was a trustee of the parish clerks' property in 1473 (Christie, p 89).
  • 2. The inconsistency and errors of the scribe make it impossible to decide which case endings are intended here. The normal form employed is 'tempore' plus the geni- tive form of the master's Christian name.
  • 3. Among deaths for 1501 (393). John Alcock (1430–1500), rector of St Margaret Fish Street Hill 1461 (vacated by March 1472); successively bishop of Rochester 1472–6, of Worcester 1476, of Ely 1486–1500; founder of Jesus College, Cambridge (Emden, BRUC to 1500; DNB).
  • 4. Among deaths for 1479 (209). Presumably the William Crosse who was rector of St Swithun London Stone from 1463 until his death in 1478 (Hennessy, p 388).
  • 5. Among deaths for 1494 (338). Probably the John Eliot, chantry chaplain of St James Garlickhythe who requested burial in the processional way there by his will of 12 February, proved 28 February, 1494 (Guildhall MS 9171/8, f. 70r)
  • 6. The name is unusual and he is presumably the Paschal Bedford who was admitted to Westminster Abbey in the year Michaelmas 1435–6 but who is not mentioned there after 1440–1 (Pearce, p 146). He is noted as a former Westminster monk in the Calendar of entries in the Papal Registers relating to Great Britain and Ireland 13,2: Papal letters 1471–84, ed JA Twemlow, p 378, where he was given a dispen- sation from wearing the monastic habit in 1481, already having dispensation to hold a secular priest's living. His presence among the priests on BR, and his earlier disappearance from the Westminster records suggests that he had long served among the parish clergy.
  • 7. Among deaths for 1492 (322). Admitted to Westminster Abbey in the year Michaelmas 1445–6, he served as Abbot 1469–74 and Bishop of Hereford 1474–92 (Pearce pp 152–3 and passim; DNB; Emden, BRUO to 1500).
  • 8. Probably the John Amersham who was admitted to Westminster Abbey in the year Michaelmas 1428–9, appointed as Archdeacon of Westminster in 1449 and who died in 1481–2 (Pearce, p 144) as he was admitted with the other Westminster monks Bedford and Milling.
  • 9. Presumably the William Corby who was junior master in 1484 (249).
  • 10. Among deaths for 1510 (505). Probably the John Pye of St Magnus Martyr, admin- istration of whose estate was granted to his widow Elizabeth on 7 September [1509] (Guildhall MS 9168/3, f. 16v). An Elizabeth Pye appears among the clerks' wives admitted in 1476 (183).
  • 11. Perhaps the John Gorham (Gorram), master of the children of St Anthony, who was paid 14s 4d for 'a songe booke and iiij antemys' on 15 February 1462 and who is still mentioned among the St Anthony's Hospital records in 1495–1502 (St George's Chapel Windsor Archives: xv.37.8, 23 and 25). See Baillie, Biographical Notes.
  • 12. Parish clerk of St Matthew Friday Street and junior master in 1496 (347); among deaths for 1505 (440).
  • 13. Parish clerk of St Margaret Moses and junior master in 1489 (295). A Thomas Goldys is among deaths for 1517 (576).
  • 14. Among deaths for 1493 (331). Perhaps the Richard Hadley, grocer, of St Peter Cheap, who left a will of 12 January, proved 16 March, 1493 (PROB 11/9, f. 125v).
  • 15. See John Thomas (275).
  • 16. Among deaths for 1478 (202). William Walter, citizen and pouchmaker, requested burial in the church of St Edmund the King and left 10s to the parish clerks' frater- nity to pray for his soul by his will of 11 November 1477, proved 20 February 1478 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 217v). He was also a common councilman for Langbourn ward (Tucker). His wife Joan was dead by the time of his will, but a Joan Walter was admitted with William below (108).
  • 17. Among deaths for 1483 (247). Probably the Richard Preston, citizen and brewer, who requested burial in St Bartholomew by the Exchange in his will of 11 October, proved 18 November, 1482 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 338v) and whose wife Marian survived him. A Marian Preston was admitted with Richard below (108).
  • 18. Among deaths for 1491 (as Nicholaus Wrytt) (322). Nicholas Wright, citizen and glover, requested burial in the body of St Benet Gracechurch before the altar of St Katherine by his will of 4 July, proved 21 August, 1491 (Guildhall MS 9171/8. f. 23v). He left 3s 4d to the parish clerks' fraternity and two bequests of 6s 8d to the Pappey fraternity.
  • 19. Among deaths for 1471 (138). Perhaps the Robert Colman, citizen and curner, who requested burial in the church of St Stephen Coleman Street by his will of 10 February, proved 11 March, 1470 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 72v). His wife Kath- erine is mentioned there and a Katherine Colman is among admissions for 1469 (122).

  • 21. See John Thomas (275).
  • 22. See William Walter (107).
  • 23. See Richard Preston (107).
  • 24. Throughout the entries for this and subsequent years, 'Katyn' or 'Kattyn' in the text has been expanded to Katheryn.
  • 25. Elyn or Elinor Deer, widow of William Deer, alderman and pewterer (83), requested burial with him in the choir of St Augustine Watling Street and left 10 marks to hire priests and clerks to sing a requiem mass and dirige in the same church each day for a month after her death. Her will of 15 December 1465 was proved 19 March 1467 (PROB 11/5, f. 130v).
  • 26. A William Blackman (Blakeman), citizen and tailor, requested burial in the church of St Mary at Hill by his will of 12 February 1464, proved 4 June [1466] (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 385r).
  • 27. Bond requested burial in the church of St Nicholas Olave, in the place where his late wife Constance (Custance) was interred and left 6s 8d to the parish clerks' brotherhood by his will of 22 May, proved 29 July, 1466 (PROB 11/5, f. 108v). Constance Bond appears among deaths for 1465 (102).
  • 28. A Stephen Pollard (Polarde), cook, requested burial in the cemetery of St Mary Woolchurch Haw by his will of 20 July, proved 30 July, 1466 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 386r).
  • 29. A James Garnon, licensed for the M Gram degree at Oxford, 1449 and High Master of St Paul's School in the same year is last attested as alive in 1466 (Emden, BRUO to 1500).
  • 30. See Henry Purchas (12).
  • 31. Walter Hercy, citizen and haberdasher, requested burial in the church of St Michael le Querne by his will of 20 July 1463, proved 17 September 1466 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 387v). He left 6s 8d to the parish clerks' fraternity. His wife Agnes mentioned there was admitted in 1456 (47) and is among deaths for 1473 (158).
  • 32. Probably the John Goldwell, mercer, of St George, Botolph Lane, who held prop- erty in Kent, Surrey and Bloxham, Oxon. In his will of 3 October, proved 10 November, 1466 he mentions a brother Thomas Goldwell (PROB 11/5, f. 114r). Thomas may well be the individual of this name admitted in 1469 (121) and among deaths for 1485 (275) as he also held property in Bloxham and left 6s 8d to the parish clerks' fraternity (PROB 117, f. 122r).
  • 33. Probably the William Burton who was senior master in 1491, where he is identified as parish clerk of St Helen's Bishopsgate (310).
  • 34. Among deaths for 1478 (202). Geoffrey Buckley (Bucley, Bukkeley) was rector of St Alban Wood Street 1465–77, when he died (Hennessy, pp 72, liv).
  • 35. The same surname is spelt with a 'y' elsewhere in this year.
  • 36. Among deaths for 1470 (130). Probably the John Hood who was cantor of the Greyfriars in London and whose monument stood in the eastern part of the cloister there. See CL Kingsford, The Grey Friars of London (1915), pp 66, 129, 139.
  • 37. Presumably the wife of William Daventry (Dawtree in the London Commissary Court records), who appears among deaths for 1467 (115). He was a parishioner of St Mildred Bread Street, and his wife Joan acted as executrix of his will of 19 December 1467, proved 2 April 1468 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 26r).
  • 38. Among deaths for 1469 (including entries for 1468) (123). Presumably the David Brecknock, citizen and baker, of the parish of St Alban Wood Street, who requested burial in the cemetery chapel of Stratford at Bow by his will of 12 February, proved 20 February, 1469 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 34r).
  • 39. Among deaths for 1480 (223). Probably the Margery Cobb (Cobbe), widow, relict of John Cobb, who requested burial close to the body of her late husband in the Lady chapel of St Alban Wood Street by her will of 3 November 1473 [recte ?1478] proved 11 September [1479] (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 253v). She was admitted with a John Cobbe (Cobe) above (113).
  • 40. See William Stalon (100).
  • 41. Among deaths for 1469 (including entries for 1468) (123). Probably the Agnes Impingham, widow, described as citizen and fishmonger in her will of 28 February 1466, proved 19 July [1468] (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 26v). Her precise place of burial is not specified there.
  • 42. A William Stafford, citizen and vintner, requested burial in his parish church of St Botolph Billingsgate by his will of 22 May 1466, proved 10 June 1467 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 45v).
  • 43. Heading abandoned as superfluous as the deceased women here are encompassed by the previous heading (115).
  • 44. Alice, wife of Richard Illingworth, Kt, and relict of Thomas Chalton of St Alban Wood Street. She requested burial with the latter in the chapel of St Thomas the Martyr within St Alban Wood Street by her will of 3 July, proved 19 October, 1467 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 10r). Her husband Sir Richard survived her and appears among deaths for 1476 on BR (187).
  • 45. See William Stalon (100).
  • 46. Simon Mayhew was again senior master in 1478 (196) where he is identified as parish clerk of St Dionis Backchurch. He was also a trustee of fraternity property in 1473 (Christie, p 89). The Joan Mayhew among the clerks' wives admitted below (120) is presumably his wife.
  • 47. Although this year is dated in the text as 1469, it clearly includes entries for the year beginning Ascension Day 1468 among the deaths and the considerably higher than normal number of entries further suggests that two years' worth of admis- sions have been conflated here. Some deaths for 1469 also appear under 1470 however.
  • 48. Robert Greetham BCnL, rector of St Dionis Backchurch January 1463, vacated by February 1489; rector of Fiskerton, Lincs, April 1482, vacated by September 1492 (Emden, BRUC to 1500). He may also be the Robert Greetham who was elected Master of the Hospital of St Augustine Pappey in 1462 (VCH London, I, 550).
  • 49. Among deaths for 1480 (219). Perhaps the John Perche who proceeded MA by 1430 and was a fellow of Magdalen Hall; later canon of Lincoln 1458–63. According to Emden (BRUO to 1500), he died on 31 January 1480.
  • 50. Among deaths for 1480 (219). Wistan Browne was Vicar of St Sepulchre from 1471 until 1480 when he died (Hennessy, p 383; Emden, BRUO to 1500).
  • 51. Presumably the John Mower, senior proctor of Oxford University in 1461–2, who was rector of St Benet Sherehog 1482–9 and perpetual vicar of Tenterden, Kent. He left a will of 12 April, proved 16 November, 1489 (PROB 11/8, f. 161v) in which he requested burial in the chancel of St Mildred at Tenterden, but was certainly dead by October 1489 (Emden, BRUO to 1500).
  • 52. Among deaths for 1470 (130). One of this name of London diocese was ordained acolyte 24 February 1442 (Davis, 44126). The Thomas Eyre entered here is prob- ably the rector of St Nicholas Shambles who requested burial on the south side of the chancel of his church before the image of St Christopher by his will of 1 May, proved 3 December, 1469 (PROB 11/5, f. 250v). As his executors were John Blaknall, chaplain, and Henry Palmer, gentleman, of the Chapel Royal he may be identified with the Thomas Eyre who was a member of the Chapel in 1457 (D Baldwin, The Chapel Royal Ancient and Modern (1990), Appendix II).
  • 53. Among deaths for 1476 (184). John Bradmer requested burial in the church of St Mary at Hill by his will of 8 November, proved 28 November, 1475 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 183v). He left 6s 8d to the Fraternity of St Nicholas and 20s to the Frater- nity of Sixty Priests. Perhaps also identifiable with the John Bradmer who was a former fellow of New College, Oxford (Emden, BRUO to 1500).
  • 54. Probably the Robert Rasshe, rector of St Nicholas Olave where he requested burial by his will of 5 October, proved 13 November, 1469 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 45r). Hennessy states (pp 350, cxliv) that he was rector from c1461, but gives his date of death as 1468.
  • 55. Among deaths for 1489 (299). He was buried in the cloister of St Magnus Martyr according to the will of John Ostwike, priest, of 4 May 1495 (PROB 11/10, f. 232r).
  • 56. Among deaths for 1486 (272). Henry Madder, priest of St Margaret New Bridge Street, requested burial there close to St Peter's altar by his will of 27 April, proved 10 May, 1486 (PROB 11/7, f. 175v). He left 6s 8d to the parish clerks' fraternity and 6d to every priest and clerk present at his interment.
  • 57. Among deaths for 1476 (184). Presumably Thomas Mason, the chaplain of St Michael Bassishaw parish, whose will of 14 July 1466 was proved 5 February 1476 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 186v). He requested burial in the chapel of St Mary [Magdalen] at Guildhall, leaving 4d each to the clerks of St Michael Bassishaw and Guildhall Chapel and 2d to every boy serving the latter, in addition to 3s 4d to the common box of the Pappey priests.

  • 59. A William Guy is recorded as prior of St Bartholomew, Smithfield 1484–1505 (Hennessy, p 101).
  • 60. A John Tadgus (Tadgoce) appears as a junior parish clerk at St Margaret's West- minster between 1488 and 1492, where regular payments of quarterage to him and the senior clerk, John Benet in the churchwardens' accounts identify him as in post (Westminster City Archives E1 (microfilm), pp 256, 258, 288). The individual admitted here may belong to an earlier generation however
  • 61. Among deaths for 1476 (185). A Thomas Cavell appears earlier as a member of the Chapel Royal in the years up to 1466 among the accounts of the keeper of the household wardrobe (E 101/411/13, f. 36, E 101/411/15, ff.18v-19 and E 101/412/2, f. 36) but more work is required to establish if there is a clear connection with the individual on the BR. We are grateful to Professor Andrew Wathey for these references.
  • 62. Among deaths for 1504 (430). Perhaps the Robert Holme who was paid 4s by the churchwardens at St Stephen Coleman Street in 1494–5 for 'syngers upon ye church halyday'. Baillie, Biographical Notes, deduces from this reference that the latter was a London choirmaster.
  • 63. Probably Edmund Turgis the composer. Much of his career is obscure. He was still active c1497–1502 (New Grove Dictionary) but there is no good reason to link him to the chaplain of this name at New College, Oxford in 1507–8.
  • 64. See Simon Mayhew above (117).
  • 65. Among deaths for 1472 (147). Richard Lee, grocer and alderman 1452–72; Kt 1471 (Beaven, II, 10). He was mayor in 1460 and 1469 and his wife Lettice survived him (see Thrupp, p 353).

  • 67. Among deaths for 1486 (275). He is the Thomas Windsor, esquire, of Stanwell, Middlesex, who asked for burial in St Mary's church there on the north side of the choir before the image of the Virgin by his will of 13 August 1479, proved 15 February 1486 (PROB 11/7, f. 106r). His wife Elizabeth, mentioned as alive in his will, is presumably the individual of this name admitted with him (122).
  • 68. Among deaths for 1473 (157). John Wood, esquire, who requested burial in the hospital church of St Thomas the Martyr, Southwark, left 3s 4d to the parish clerks' fraternity in his will of 20 July, proved 16 October, 1472 (PROB 11/6, f. 47r).

  • 72. Among deaths for 1499 (where he is described as 'magister') (377). His wife Margaret was admitted with him (122), and so he is probably identifiable as the mercer John Mathew who served as alderman 1482–99 and mayor in 1490–1 (Beaven, II, 16; Thrupp, p 355). He died on 6 February 1499 and requested burial in the church of St Martin Orgar by his will proved 1 March in the same year (PROB 11/11, f. 237v).

Probably the John Abraham, citizen and goldsmith, who requested burial in the churchyard of St Lawrence Jewry by his will of 10 October, proved 17 November 1482 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 338r). His wife Kath- erine, who survived him, is mentioned there. A Katherine Abraham was admitted with John below, in 1469 (122).
  • 81. Among deaths for 1474 (169). Probably the John Amell the elder, citizen and cutler, parishioner of St Magnus Martyr, who requested burial in his parish church or Whittington College. His will of 7 February was proved 26 February, 1474 (PROB 11/6, f. 95v).
  • 82. Walter Bellinger, Ireland King of Arms, made the first grant of arms to the parish clerks' fraternity in 1469 or 1470, hence presumably his admission here. He died in May 1487. See FW Steer, The Armorial Bearings of the Worshipful Company of Parish Clerks, (privately printed 1975), p 1.
