Notes |
- The noted Town Clerk of London. He founded The City of London School.
This John Carpenter is frequently distinguished in documents as 'John Carpenter, junior,' and also as Jenkin or Jenken, a diminutive of the name of John. He was a MP (Member of Parliment) from London in 1425.
"Memoir of the Life and Times of John Carpenter, Town Clerk of London in the reigns of Henry Fifth and Sixth." By Thomas Brewer in 1856, London.
Part of this Memoir is in the Carpenter Memorial (1898) starting on page 3.
Brewer found no record of this John's life until his lection as Town Clerk or Common Clerk of the City of London on April 20, 1417, two years after the Battle of Agincourt. The exemption mentioned on page 14 suggests that John Carpenter had been in the City's service 'from the time of his youth,' and he was certainly clerk to John Marchaunt, his predecessor as Town Clerk.
A copy of his will is in the Carpenter Memorial. Pages 12-17.
Will dated 8 March 1441 and proved 12 May 1442. The City of London School claims his death as 12 May 1442, it was when the will was proved - after his death.
John Carpenter, Junior the Town Clerk of London was Executor of Dick Whittington's Will, He was a Member of Parliament. John Carpenter was a MP also.
"THE CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL" By A. E. Douglas-Smith, 2nd Edition, 1965, Oxford. This John Carpenter was one of 3 John Carpenters who were prominent in this time period. One was his elder brother named John Carpenter, sometimes known as John the Elder, this was a not uncommon medieval practice. The other John Carpenter was Warden of St. Anthony's Hospital, Rector of St. Mary's Magdalen, and later Bishop of Worcester. SEE NOTE Below. Per the above record, John Carpenter the younger's will was made in his 70th year. This indicates his birth about 1371/1372. He would have been Town Clerk at about age 45, which seems reasonable.
Author of first book of English Common Law "Liber Albus".
He was a leader in education in early England and founded the City of London School for Poor Children. He was also a member of Parliament from London. He owned over 300 buildings and had a fish pond or reservoir on top of his own house. He willed these to his borther.
John the younger obtained letter of patent from the Crown (Henry VI) dated 3 Dec. 18 (1418?) exempting him for the whole of his life from all military and civil duties whatsoever, among which as included election as member of Parliment and receiving the Honour of Knighthood. SEE: Carpenter Chronicles, Vol. 26, (Sept. 1996) note by John Patching.
John the younger had to earn his Knighthood and Arms for Service. His brother received his Knighthood and Arms from his father.
The City of London School for Poor Children was built in 1837 and
remodeled in 1896 as mentioned in the Carpenter Memorial by Amos B. Carpenter.
However, it was damaged during World War Two. The statue of John Carpenter was damaged and now (Nov. 1998) "resides in a prominent position on a plinth high up on the wall of the School's glassed ceiling atrium standing over the door to the balcony of our Great Hall. In this position 'He' also 'sees' the full splendour of St. Paul's Dome." Per the Head Porter - B. Darling, MISM of City of London School. Located on Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 3AL. Mr. Darling was so kind to send a couple of pictures of this remarkable ancestor.
Please note: Most records give the date of the foundation of the School as
1442, but the school was not actually opened until 1837.
THE CARPENTER FAMILY OF ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
By J. Hatton Carpenter.
FROM: Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine, Vol. 16 Number 2, April 1925.
Page 60-70. Partial excerpt ...
"The family bore arms, which in heraldic parlance reads as follows: "Paly of six, argent and gules, on a chevron azure, 3 cross crosslets or." Motto "Per acuta belli" (through In a the asperities of war). The 3 cross crosslets denote an ancestor in be Crusades or who was a Crusader. ...
In a letter dated 7 August, 1907, from Rev. William Boyd Carpenter, Bishop Ripon, Yorkshire, afterwards a Canon of Westminster and chaplain to the reigning sovereign of England, the writer was informed that he, the Bishop, bore be Hereford Arms, and that Sir Noel Paton explained to him that originally the crest was a round-handled sword, which in drawing became shortened, until nothing but the cross and globe are left beneath it.
These arms were used by John Carpenter, town clerk of London, who died in
1442."
