John Champneys : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Champneys Sir John Champneys (1495–1556) was City of London Sheriff in 1522 and Lord Mayor of London in 1534, when he was knighted. A merchant, he began the building of Hall Place, Bexley, in about 1537. The son of Robert Champneys of Chew Magna, Somerset, he was a member of the Worshipful Company of Skinners. A contemporary chronicler, John Stow, noted that he was blind in later life: a divine judgment for having added 'a high tower of brick' to his house in Mincing Lane, 'the first that I ever heard of in any private man's house, to overlook his neighbours in this city.' He was buried on 8 October 1556 at St Mary the Virgin, Bexley.〔(London Borough of Bexley: Surnames - C ) Accessed 11 March 2013.〕 ==References==
