Adam Fettiplace, Mayor of Oxford

Adam FETTIPLACE (Mayor of Oxford)

Born: ABT 1195

Died: AFT 1263, North Denchworth, Berkshire, England

Notes: In 1267, he was for the tenth time elected chief magistrate of Oxford, and somewhere about that period purchased of Ralph de Camoys the manor of Denchworth in Berkshire. (Ashmole and Dale's MSS., College of Arms) That this Adam was a merchant or tradesman, appears from the curious fact of his "shop" being mentioned in a deed of gift by Jeffrey de Hinksey, a wealthy burgess of Oxford; of one shop or tenement "situated between the shop of Adam Fettiplace on the eastern side, and one belonging to Richard de Farendon on the western side". This grant is witnessed by Nicholas de Kingston, then mayor of Oxford. (Dunkin's History of the Hundred of Beckinston and Ploughley)
