have borne the honourable Office of Lord Majors of the City of London since the time of the Norman Conquest till Anno Dom. 1633. And here is to be noted that no one County of England can say so much as this County in regard of the number of L. Majors of London as have descended out of the same as hereafter appeareth IT will be no great digression nor much from the purpose if I now walke a little out of Stamford into the County of Lincoln in wch County this town standeth and since I have in their order and succession set downe the Names of the prime Majestrates as they have successively borne Office in this Towne give me leave in the next place to set forth such as this County of Lincoln● hath from time to time sent up to London who have borne the head Office in that mighty City It is true this County hath received back as it were by way of exchange two Families of Gentry which are descended from Majors of London and have planted their houses in this County In the first place I find the Family of the Granthams which from Iohn Grantham Grocer Major of London in the third yeare of the raigne of K. Edward the 3. which was in Anno Dom. 1328. are descended and ever since setled in the County of Lincolne as appeares by the Armes of that Iohn Grantham borne by the Granthams of this County at this day The next Family which London hath lent to this County to garnish the same with the flowers of her Gentry is the illustrious Family of the Askewes of Lincolnshire which from Sir Christopher Askew Draper the Son of Iohn Askew of Edmunton in the County of Middlesex being Major of London in anno Dom. 1534 being in the 26 yeare of the raigne of K. Henry the 8. are descended as appeares by the same Coat-armour borne by the Askewes of Lincolnshire at this day It is true this Towne of Stamford hath never beene so fortunate as to have any Major of London descended out of the same but what this place hath been defective in the County hath given a larger supply then any one County of England having sent up Tenn● Majors besides other Aldermen and Sheriffes to that City I. First in Anno Dom. 1470. which was in the 10.th yeare of King Edward the 4.th Sir Iohn Stockdon Mercer the Sonne of Richard Stockdon of Bratoft in the County of Lincolne was Major of London at what time the Bastard Falconbridge assaulted the City at Algate and at the Bridge-gate who for his Valour in the defence of the same with a XI more of his Brethren the Aldermen and Vrswicke the then Recorder of London were then Knighted in the field by the said King Edward the fourth II.
