Footnotes

  • 1. The name Dulard is unusual. Presumably identifiable with the minor canon of St George's Chapel Windsor, who was admitted and resigned from the foundation in 1474 (EH Fellowes, The Vicars or Minor Canons of His Majesty's Free Chapel of St George in Windsor Castle (1945), p 64). R Bowers in St George's Chapel, Windsor, in the Late Middle Ages, ed C Richmond and E Scarff (2001), p 201, plau- sibly identifies him as a previous member of Salisbury Cathedral choir
  • 2. A clerk (and probably organist) of this name is noted among the churchwardens' accounts of St Mary at Hill in 1512–3 (Baillie, Biographical Notes) but the much later date may mean that this is a different individual.
  • 3. Parish clerk of St Stephen Walbrook in 1477 (Mc Murray, Index). Thomas Noke is noted among deaths for 1480 (220). Presumably Gabriel Doble, among admissions for 1477 (190), succeeded him in the post of senior clerk there.
  • 4. Among deaths for 1498 (368). Probably the Thomas Greenhurst, of St Mary Alder- manbury, who left a will of 10 April 1498 (Guildhall MS 9171/8, f. 190v) administration being granted later on 3 March [?1499] (Guildhall MS 9168/1, ff. 65v, 66r). His wife Katherine is mentioned there and a Katherine Greenhurst (Greneherst) was admitted with Thomas (182).
  • 5. Among deaths for 1497 (361). He was admitted with Katherine Oppy above (182), who is among deaths for 1484 (257). Identifiable with the citizen and brewer of this name who was a parishioner of St Magnus Martyr and who names his wife Maud as executrix in his will of 2 September, proved 21 September, 1496 (PROB 11/11, f. 7v). Maud Oppy is among admissions for 1489 (298).
  • 6. Among deaths for 1483 (247). Perhaps the Richard Beale, citizen and butcher, who requested burial in the church of St Nicholas Shambles by his will of 5 April, proved 2 July, 1483 (PROB 11/7, f. 50r). His wife Alice is mentioned there as exec- utrix and an Alice Beale was admitted with Richard below (182) although the names are not uncommon.
  • 7. Among deaths for 1480 (222). Humphrey Hayford, prime warden of the Gold- smiths 1462, 1467 and 1475; alderman 1464–8, 1470–80 and mayor 1477 (Beaven, II, 12; Thrupp, p 349). He requested burial in the church of St Edmund the King with his late wife Florence by his will of 31 January, proved 17 April, 1480 (Guild- hall MS 9171/6, f. 291v). Hayford was then married to Joan who appears among deaths for 1483 (248).
  • 8. Among deaths for 1494 (338). John Rivers (Ryver/Ryvers), citizen and skinner, late parishioner of St Augustine Watling Street requested burial in the church of the Greyfriars, Newgate, where his wife Joan was buried and left 3s 4d to the parish clerks' fraternity to pray for his soul by his will of 15 January 1494, proved later that year (PROB 11/10, f. 58v). His wife Joan, admitted below (182), is also among deaths for 1494 (338).
  • 9. Among deaths for 1489 (302). Probably the William Brereton, citizen and stationer, who requested burial in the church of St Nicholas Shambles by his will of 2 July, proved 16 July, 1488 (Guildhall MS 9171/7, f. 128r). His wife Katherine is mentioned there and a Katherine Brereton was admitted in 1479 (182).
  • 10. Kisby, Royal Household Chapel, Appendix I, identifies him as the Newark who was a gentleman of the Chapel Royal under Edward IV and master of the choristers in 1493 who died in 1509. While he appears there in 1477 (see New Grove Dictionary) he is not listed among the parish and choir clerks on BR and therefore this is unlikely to be the same man.
  • 11. See Thomas Greenhurst (Greneherst) (181).
  • 12. See Richard Beale (Beele) (281).
  • 13. See John Rivers (Ryvers) above (181).
  • 14. See William Brereton (Breerton) above (181).
  • 15. Perhaps the Elizabeth Pye, wife of John Pye, among the clerks admitted in 1466 (105) and deaths for 1510 (505), to whom administration of his will was granted on 7 September 1509 (Guildhall MS 9168/3, f. 16v).

He was a canon of York from 1451 and Dean of the Arches in 1452 but dead by April 1476 (Emden, ibid.).
  • 17. John Day (Dey), citizen and cutler, who requested burial in the church of St Lawrence Jewry and left 10s for the maintenance of the parish clerks' fraternity by his will of 5 September, proved 24 November, 1475 (PROB 11/6, f. 154r).
  • 18. Richard Illingworth, Kt, Baron of the Exchequer, requested burial in the chapel of St Thomas the Martyr within St Alban Wood Street by his will of 5 July 1471, proved 15 July 1476 (PROB 11/6, f. 192v). His second wife Alice Illingworth, relict of Thomas Chalton, is among deaths for 1467 (116).
  • 19. See William Underwood (Underwode) (81).
  • 20. Among deaths for 1489 (299). John Walsh was the morrow mass chaplain of St Michael Wood Street who requested burial in the chapel of St John the Baptist there.

  • 23. Parish clerk of All Hallows Lombard Street and master in 1495 (339). John Dennis (Daynys/Dens) is among deaths for 1509 (492).
  • 24. Perhaps the Thomas Richardson, parish clerk, who sued the churchwardens of All Hallows London Wall for his wages in 1481–2 (Guildhall MS 5090/1, f. 17).
  • 25. This John Wilkes or the other clerk of this name admitted in 1483 was a Southwark parish clerk mentioned in a deed of 1484 relating to property in Bermondsey Street, St Olave's, Southwark (C 1/279/83). See Mc Murray, Index.
  • 26. Probably the Matthew Bednall who was a lay clerk at St George's Chapel Windsor from 1485 [?1486] until 1504 or later where he was also paid as an organist during the years 1489–92 and 1493–4 (St George's Chapel Archives: treasurer's rolls xv.34.61 and 71; Bodleian Library, Oxford: MS Berkshire Roll 5).
