Footnotes

  • 1. A trustee of the fraternity's property in 1446 and 1452 (Christie, pp 87–8)
  • 2. Among deaths for 1463 (83). Richard Cox (Cokkys) is also noted as a trustee of the fraternity's property in 1461 (Christie, p 88).
  • 3. Among deaths for 1466 (109). Robert Shipton was rector of St Mildred Bread Street 1450–67, when he died (Hennessy, p 339).
  • 4. Senior master in 1471 (131) and 1479 (204); parish clerk of St George Botolph Lane; among deaths for 1498 (368). Robert Hewster was a trustee of fraternity property in 1473 (Christie, p 89). He and his wife Emma, who was admitted in 1471 (135) and is among deaths for 1502 (409), were left bequests in the will of Richard Clyff rector of St George's in 1492 (PROB 11/9, f. 66v).
  • 5. Robert How (Hoo), junior master in 1466 (103) and 1476 (179); a trustee of the fraternity's property in 1473 (Christie, p 89); among deaths for 1492 (322). He was clerk of St Mary le Bow, who requested burial in the cemetery there, leaving a will of 2 July, proved 15 November, 1491 (PROB 11/9, f. 11v). In this, he leaves lanthorns to his sons John and Edmund, perhaps lanthorns which were hung in the openings of the steeple at his church to guide travellers to London at night in winter (Stow, Survey, ed Kingsford, 1, 256). In 1469 the City authorities ordained that the Bow bell should be rung nightly at nine o'clock as a curfew, thereby regulating earlier custom. It is tempting to identify Robert How (Hoo) as the 'Clarke of the Bow bell with the yellow lockes' who was teased by the City apprentices and Cheapside residents for late ringing of the bell ('For thy late ringing thy head shall have knocks'), to which 'Children of Cheape' he replied in similar verse. But Stow does not define exactly when this incident occurred after 1469. Probate of Robert's will was granted to his widow Joan, probably the clerk's wife of this name among admissions for 1470 (127). In 1469 an Elizabeth How is recorded among the deceased women (123) who may well be an earlier wife.
  • 6. Probably the William Windsor who is noted as a member of the Chapel Royal in 1463 (E 101/411/13 f. 36) and was still a clerk there on 17 August 1479 (Calendar of Patent Rolls 1476–1485, p 162). It is possible that this is the same William Windsor who appears as a lay clerk at St George's Chapel Windsor from 1483–9: see R Bowers' unpublished list of Windsor musicians deposited in the archives of St George's. A move there would help to explain the lack of any reference to the death of this clerk on BR.
  • 7. Junior master in 1476 (179), senior master in 1494 (332), and among deaths for 1497 (361). William Appleby was parish clerk of St Benet Fink. In his will of 2 May, proved 27 May, 1496 he requested burial in the parish churchyard there and mentions his wife Joan, who is among admissions for 1494 (335), together with an unmarried daughter Alice (Guildhall MS 9171/8, f. 127r).
  • 8. Among deaths for 1481 (229). Richard Whaplode, citizen and fishmonger, requested burial within the porch of St Margaret, Fish Street Hill by his will of 5 March 1477, proved 2 October 1480 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 308v). He left 3s 4d to the parish clerks' fraternity to pray for his soul. A Joan Whaplode was admitted with him in 1457 (52) but Julian is named as his wife and executrix in his will and she survived him.
  • 9. Perhaps the William Pynder, citizen and brewer, who requested burial in St Mary Woolchurch by his will of 15 October, proved 23 October, 1459 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 285v). His wife Joan acted as an executor and a Joan Pynder is among deaths for 1465 (102). A William Pindyn, who may be identical with him, appears among deaths for 1459 (60).
  • 10. Among deaths for 1473 (157). Probably the John Frecok named as the son of Richard Frecok in his will proved 7 October 1468 (PROB 11/5, f. 191v), who is also among admissions for 1457 (51).
  • 11. Among deaths for 1464 (94). Probably the Robert Barrett (Baret), citizen and vintner, who requested burial in St Mary Woolnoth by his will of 20 May, proved 8 June, 1464 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 358v). His wife Margery is mentioned there and a Margery Barrett was admitted with Robert in 1457 (52)
  • 12. Among deaths for 1480 (222). Reynold, a citizen and dyer, requested burial in the church of All Hallows the Less by his will of 6 August 1479, proved 28 January 1480 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 287r). Among other bequests, he left 12d to the Pappey fraternity and 20d to the parish clerks' fraternity. His wife Elizabeth, mentioned there, was admitted with him in 1457 (52).
  • 13. Among deaths for 1458 (54). Probably the Walter Drope, citizen and butcher, who requested burial in the church of St Nicholas Shambles by his will of 29 July, proved 11 August, 1458 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 253v). His wife Joan is mentioned there and a Joan Drope is also among deaths for 1458 (54). For the Drope family see Thrupp, p 337.
  • 14. Among deaths for 1469 (including entries for 1468) (123). Probably the Richard Frecock, fletcher and common councilman during the 1460s, who lived in Bridge ward in 1456 (Tucker). He had property in Penshurst, Kent and elsewhere and asked for burial with his children in the churchyard of St Magnus Martyr by his will of 19 September, proved 7 October, 1468 (PROB 11/5, f. 191v). His wife Isobel, mentioned in his will, survived him and an Isobel Frecock was admitted with Richard above (52).
  • 15. Among deaths for 1469 (including entries for 1468) (123). Thomas Frary, citizen and hatter, asked to be buried in the cemetery of St Mildred Bread Street and left 20s to the parish clerks' fraternity in his will of 2 May, proved 1 July, 1468 (PROB 11/5, f. 183r). The will also mentions his daughter Maud Gegge, widow, who is among admissions for 1469 (122).
  • 16. Among deaths (as William Braybroke) for 1473 (157). A citizen and fishmonger, he asked for burial in the porch of St Margaret New Bridge Street, where his parents were buried, by his will of 30 (?)August, proved 4 November, 1472 (PROB 11/6, f. 49v). He left 6s 8d to the parish clerks' fraternity. His wife Margaret, mentioned in his will, is apparently among admissions for 1473 (154).
  • 17. See Henry Reynold (51).
  • 18. See Richard Freecock (Frecok) (51).
  • 19. See John Thomas (40).
  • 20. Perhaps the John Forster, chaplain of St Martin Vintry, who requested burial in the cloister there by his will of 16 September, proved 20 September, 1457 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 227r).
  • 21. Probably the Geoffrey Herring, chaplain, who requested burial in the cemetery of St Lawrence Jewry by his will of 28 February, proved 8 May, 1458 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 245r).
  • 22. Trustee of the fraternity's property in 1452 (Christie, p 88). A William Child, who requested burial in the cemetery of St Benet Paul's Wharf, and whose wife was named Agnes, left a will (no probate) of 16 June 1457 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 220r). An Agnes Child is among admissions before 1449 (5).
  • 23. Parish clerk of St Martin Ludgate. By his will of 14 October, proved 24 November, 1457, Nicholas Bramble requested burial in the church and left 3s 4d to the high altar there. He bequeathed property in Essex and his residuary estate for life to his wife Joan which was to be sold after her death to establish a chantry for the souls of himself, his family and benefactors at St Martin's (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 234r).
  • 24. A William Tredgold, citizen and tallowchandler, requested burial in the cemetery of St Peter Cornhill by his will of 1 October 1454, proved 3 February 1458 (Guild- hall MS 9171/5, f. 239r).
  • 25. These last entries in a different hand apparently relate to later years, and mainly to 1460, as the deaths of Richard Walter, Edmund Spencer and Richard Philip are all recorded again under that year on BR (68). Richard Walter is clearly the citizen and ironmonger of St Audoen who requested burial in the church of the Greyfriars in London as he left 13s 4d to the parish clerks' fraternity by his will (no probate, incomplete administration) of 24 May 1460 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 302r).
  • 26. This later entry apparently relates to the Edmund Spencer who also appears among deaths for 1460 (62). He is clearly the citizen and cofferer of St Mary Colechurch who requested burial in the church of St Thomas of Acre (where his late wife Ellen was buried) as he left 6s 8d for the 'augmentation and reparation' of the parish clerks' fraternity by his will of 10 September, proved 4 November, 1460 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 301v).
  • 27. The identifiable deaths cluster in the year 1458, so the masters must have held office from Ascension Day in this year. No admissions are recorded.
  • 28. Richard Petworth, BCnL and BCL, who is known to have served as Cardinal Beau- fort's secretary between 1415 and 1435. He died between 6 July 1458, when his will was drawn up, and November 1458 (Emden, BRUO to 1500). Petworth requested burial at the north end of the high altar in the church of St Mary Magdalen, Southwark and left 20s to the Fraternity of St Nicholas (PROB 11/4, f. 104r). He was apparently a native of Petworth, Sussex, as he left five marks to the church there Petworth's entry is duplicated at the top of f. 6v, where the scribe apparently began to write the entries for this year, before abandoning the attempt, perhaps because there was insuf- ficient space to enter all the names. This explanation was first put forward by Dr Roger Bowers in an unpublished note, although the dating of these years is ours. It is just possible that this second entry refers to the Richard Selly alias Petworth, a monk of Westminster Abbey, whose death has been fixed by Barbara Harvey between April and September 1461 (Westminster Abbey Muniments 19442). However, he is not known to have been a graduate and therefore styled 'magister'.
  • 29. As he appears at the head of the laity immediately after the priests, he may possibly be the Stephen Forster, fishmonger, alderman 1444–58, sheriff 1444 and mayor 1454. This citizen left a will of 4 December, proved 27 December, 1458 and requested burial in the church of St Botolph Billingsgate (PROB 11/4, f. 110r).
  • 30. Not clearly identifiable, but perhaps a member of the merchant family of this name based in London and Bristol (see Thrupp, p 328 and DNB sub William Canynges).
  • 31. Presumably the William Andrew who was parish clerk of St Botolph Aldgate, where he is noted in 1452 (Mc Murray, Index). In his will of 29 August, proved 25 September, 1458, he requested burial in the cemetery of that church next to where the body of his late wife Joan lay (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 257v). She is probably the Joan Andrew among deaths for 1449 (27). A later wife Joan survived him and acted as his executrix. He also left a range of household goods to a daughter, Alice.
  • 32. A William Steward (Styward), parishioner of St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey, left a will of 3 October 1457, proved 17 October 1458 (PROB 11/4, f. 196v).
  • 33. Presumably the Luke Brown, citizen and brewer, who requested burial in the church of St Michael le Querne by his will of 8 September, proved 4 December, 1458 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 263r). His wife Isobel is mentioned there and an Isobel Brown was admitted in 1454 (36) and appears among deaths for 1462 (75).
  • 34. A John Dalton, citizen and barber, of St Peter Cornhill, left 20s to Richard Pollard the parish clerk for acting as executor of his will of 14 February, proved 12 April, 1459 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 271v).
  • 35. Richard Snell, citizen and paviour, requested burial in the Lady chapel of St Nicholas Shambles by his will of 'Monday next' after the feast of St Thomas the Apostle (21 December) 1458, proved 13 March 1459 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 271r). He left 4d each to the parish clerks there for attendance at his exequies and 3s 4d to the wardens of the parish clerks' fraternity for the use of the guild. He also left 4d to the clerk of the church of 'St Andrew'.
  • 36. See Thomas Mayre (Mayare) (102).
  • 37. Probably the Margaret Hatherley, third wife of John Hatherley, alderman, who predeceased him. She is mentioned as already dead in his will of 12 April 1459 (Husting Roll 195 (44), ed Sharpe, Calendar of wills, II, 552). Hatherley (14, 75) and his previous wives Isobel and Joan all appear on BR.
  • 38. Presumably the Robert Rooke, formerly vicar of St Lawrence Jewry, who left 10s to the parish clerks' fraternity and 20s to the fraternity of London rectors for attend- ance at his funeral by his will of 9 November 1453, proved December 1458 (PROB 11/4, f 108v).
  • 39. The entries here for 1459 follow those for 1460 in the MS, but have apparently been transposed when the list was copied up. The dating of this year is discussed in the Introduction.
  • 40. The Thomas Humberston admitted in 1455 would not have been a member of the fraternity for long enough to be the senior master in 1459. The latter was a trustee of parish clerks' property in 1473 (Christie, p 89) and is perhaps the individual of this name who is among deaths for 1485 on BR (in a list of dead laity which however, includes priests and clerks) (264).
  • 41. Among deaths for 1465 (102). William Tomlins (Thomelyns), rector of St Alban Wood Street 1440–65 (Hennessy, p 72) requested burial in the chancel there by his will of 20 October 1462, proved 4 November 1465 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 376v).
  • 42. Among deaths for 1465 (102). It is not clear as to which church William Kilburn served, but he left 6s 8d to the parish clerks' fraternity by his will of 14 December 1465 and exhibited 15 January 1466, with probate deferred (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 382v).
  • 43. Perhaps identifiable with the John Colin who was elected master of the Hospital of St Augustine Pappey in 1460–1 (VCH London, I, 550).
  • 44. Among deaths for 1462 (75). David Taylor was a chaplain of St Mary Matfellon and requested burial in the cemetery there. He left a nuncupative will of 24 July, proved 27 July, 1461 and bequeathed 2s to the parish clerks' fraternity (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 312r).
  • 45. The only assistant or junior parish clerk identified as such on BR.
  • 46. Senior master in 1473 (150).
  • 47. Among deaths for 1473 (156). A Richard Derby, citizen and stationer, of St Augus- tine Watling Street, left six silver spoons to the parish clerks' fraternity by his will of 29 May, proved 5 June, 1472 (Guildhall MS 9171/6, f. 109r) but there is no other indication that he was also a parish clerk.
  • 48. Junior master in 1483 (240) and among deaths for 1499 (376). He is perhaps the Robert Vernon of St Martin Orgar, probate of whose will was granted to his widow Joan on 27 October [1498] (Guildhall MS 9168/1, f. 90v).
  • 49. Among additional deaths for 1462 and (?)1463 (89). Alderman 1446–61; MP London 1453, 1455; KB 1461 (Beaven, II, 9; Thrupp, p 328). Thrice master of the Mercers between 1450 and 1461, Cantelow requested burial in the church of St Mary Magdalen Milk Street by his will of 21 February 1463, proved 11 May 1464 (PROB 11/5, f. 28r). His wife Elizabeth, mentioned there, was admitted with him (59).
  • 50. Among deaths for 1484 (256). He is the Thomas Ostrich, citizen and haberdasher, noted as a common councilman for Cripplegate ward in 1481 (Tucker). In his will of 24 July 1483, proved 16 March (?) 1484, he requested burial in the Trinity chapel of St Alban Wood Street and left 6s 8d to the parish clerks' fraternity 'of the which I am a brother and my wiff a sister' to pray for his soul, his parents' and all Chris- tian souls (PROB 11/7, f. 161r). His wife Anne, mentioned there, is not recorded on BR, but his father Thomas Ostrich, another haberdasher, is among deaths for 1452 (31).
  • 51. Among deaths for 1459 (60). Perhaps the John Cotforde, mercer, who requested burial in the chancel of St Thomas the Apostle, by his will of 6 April 1459 proved 23 November 1460 (PROB 11/4, f. 162v).
  • 52. Among deaths for 1474 (169). Probably the Henry Narburgh, squire, citizen and baker of St Edmund the King, in which church he wished to be buried, who left a will of 6 September, proved 12 November, 1473 (PROB 11/6, f. 85r). He also asked for a trental of masses to be celebrated in the church of the Greyfriars after his burial, and Stow (Survey, ed Kingsford, I, 321) notes a memorial there to him and his father John Narburgh, Treasurer of England. Henry's wife Agnes, also mentioned in his will, is apparently the woman of this name also among admissions for 1459 (59).
  • 53. This is the first occasion on which the names of the clerks' wives are separately listed.
  • 54. Among deaths for 1463 (83). Katherine Otley was the widow of Robert Otley, alderman and grocer, who died in 1436 (Beaven, II, 7 and Thrupp, p 358). She was Otley's second wife and survived him. Previously to this marriage, she had been married at various times to John French and Bartholomew Seman, goldsmith. By her will of 19 September 1463, proved 6 July 1464, she requested burial in the Lady chapel of St John Zachary. She left 6s 8d (with a further 13s 4d for attendance at her exequies) to the parish clerks' fraternity, as well as bequests to the Pappey and Sixty Priests' fraternities (PROB 11/5, f. 57r).
  • 55. Among deaths (as Alice Illingworth) for 1467 (116). Alice, relict of Thomas Chalton and widow of Richard Illingworth, alderman, Kt, requested burial with her late husband Thomas 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).
  • 56. Variant forms of Agnes appear throughout this and the next column.
  • 57. Among deaths for 1481 (as Darne Katherine) (230). Probably the Katherine named as wife of John Stoker (Stokker), alderman and draper, in his will of 1464 (Beaven, II, 11; Thrupp, p 367).
  • 58. Also among deaths for 1459 (60). Perhaps identifiable with the Joan who was the widow of William Bateman, parishioner of St Mary Matfellon Whitechapel. She left a will of 27 April, proved 4 June, 1459 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 274v).
  • 59. See William Cantelow (57).

  • 62. Thomas Swan BCL, born c1403, rector of St Mary at Hill 1439–60. He was dead by April 1460 (Hennessy, p 305; Emden, BRUO to 1500).
  • 63. John Newark, citizen and ironmonger, requested burial in the church of St Mary at Hill by his will (no probate) of 19 September 1459 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 287r). He left 8d to each of the parish clerks there and 4d to each of the 30 clerks of the parish clerks' fraternity whom he asked to attend his burial.
  • 64. Richard Broughton, citizen and stockfishmonger, who requested burial in the new cemetery of St Magnus Martyr by his will of 6 August 1457, sealed 20 April 1460 (Guildhall MS 9171/5, f. 293v). He left 6s 8d to the parish clerks' fraternity.

  • 66. Among deaths for 1493 (331).
  • 67. The names of Edward IV and his parents who follow are written in red ink apart from the initial letters. Edward was proclaimed king on 4 March 1461 and members of his family are entered here in a conspicuous show of loyalty to the new Yorkist dynasty.

  • 69. A hole in the parchment has removed the titles of George and his brother Richard immediately below. They have been deduced from the context.
  • 70. Among deaths for 1478 (202). George Plantagenet, brother of Edward IV, was created Duke of Clarence on 29 June 1461 and was executed in the Tower of London 18 February 1478 (GEC Complete Peerage, which incorrectly gives the date, St Peter's Day, as 28 June). Hence this entry was written after 29 June.
  • 71. Succeeded as Richard III on 26 June 1483. Killed at the Battle of Bosworth, 22 August 1485. See DNB.
  • 72. Among deaths for 1476 (188). Anne was the eldest daughter of Richard Planta- genet, Duke of York, by his wife Cecily.

He was vicar of St Dunstan's Without at Canterbury and rector of Manaton, Devon from 1443 until his death which had occurred by June 1464 (Emden, BRUO to 1500). Although he had no obvious connection with London, the dates of death seem to match those of the individual on BR.
  • 77. Among deaths for 1470 (130). William Moore, 'capellanus' of St Mary Overy, Southwark, requested burial near the high altar there and left 3s 4d to the parish clerks' fraternity (and 3s 4d to the fraternity of St Giles Cripplegate) to pray for his soul by his will of 10 August, proved 10 November, 1469 (PROB 11/5, f. 221v).
