Notes for Henry Stoughton
Henry succeeded his father in the business in London. He was bequeathed Thomas’s “principal place in Old Fish Street and the two shops against the door of St. Nicholas...my great shops which Thomas Derham holdeth to farm, with a cellar and a shop of the yearly value of £ 4 13s 4d.” His brother Thomas received the property in Kent and in the parish of St. Katherine’s. Thomas died without an heir, and his property went to Henry’s son Thomas.
Henry Stoughton was part owner of two ships captured by pirates in December 1491. He was also probably the fishmonger who, for reasons unknown, appears on a list of persons in prison in Cambridge who were exempted from the King’s general pardon on 30 Apr 1509 (on the ascension of Henry VIII), only a few months before Henry’s will was proven.
His will names his wife Johane, sons Thomas and Anthony, and directs that he be buried next to his mother at St. Nicholas Cole Abbey in Old Fish Street.
