Sir Richard Gardiner, Knight, (died 19 December 1489) was, in 1478, Lord Mayor of London. He was Alderman of Walbrook Ward, and had been Sheriff of the City of London in 1469. Gardiner's parents were John and Isabella Gardiner of Exning, near Newmarket, Suffolk. He married Etheldreda (or Audria) (d.1505), daughter of William Cotton, Lord of the Manor of Landwade, in Cambridgeshire, who survived him and married, secondly, Sir Gilbert Talbot, Knight of the Garter, of Grafton, Worcestershire). By Audria, Gardiner had one child, Mary, who in 1504 married Sir Giles Alington, Knt. However, a manuscript compiled by Allan Stanier, entitled ''Lord Mayors of London and their Parentage &c., 1308-1798'', lists, for the year, "1478, Sir Richard Gardyner, son of John Gardyner of Elsing, Norfolk". The location cited is an error. "In his will, Richard Gardener (), Alderman of Walbrook Ward, left to Etheldreda or Audria, his wife, his lands, tenements, &c., in the parishes of St.Bartholomew the Less (the Royal Exchange ), St.Michael Queenhithe, and Holy Trinity the Less, for her life, with remainder to Mary, Lady Alington, his daughter in tail (). In default of an heir he leaves the sum of ten pence 'per diem' to five poor men in honour of the five wounds of Jesus Christ, and to five poor women in honour of the five joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary; the said men and women being nominated by the Mayor and Recorder, and by the Master of the House or Hospital of St.Thomas de Acon, in manner prescribed. The aforesaid tenements &c., to remain to the master of the house or hospital aforesaid and his successors subject to the above charge; remainder in case of default to the Chamberlain of the City of London on like condition. Dated 1 April 1488. Proved on Monday the Feast of St.Alphege, Bishop, 19 April 1490." ==References== * ''The Cambridgeshire Visitation'' by Henry St.George, 1619, from MSS.
