 Florilegium urbanum - London alderman
This is partly due to the changed economy, which gave less scope for the meteoric rise of men accumulating great wealth, and partly due to London politics from the 1430s having been less turbulent – and so less demanding of forceful and strong-willed men at the helm – than for much of its earlier history.
Robert Clopton, alderman of Lime Street ward (as inscribed at bottom of the placard bearing the blank shields), was one of the London rulers of that period.
The Hugh Clopton who was an alderman and mayor during the reign of Henry VII was no relation, as far as we can tell.

A century after Hugh Clopton, William Shakespeare behaved in much the same way, though he did not give a building directly.
Instead, he associated himself so especially with Stratford that in due course one of the most famous theatres in the world was built in his honour, and particularly for the performance of his plays, in the town.
So now Hugh Clopton's bridge has been superseded as Stratford's pride by another building, standing close by.

This house was first built by Sir Hugh Clopton, a younger brother of an ancient family in that neighbourhood, who took their name from the manor of Clopton.
Sir Hugh was Sheriff of London in the reign of Richard III., and Lord Mayor in the reign of King Henry VII.
To this gentleman the town of Stratford is indebted for the fine stone bridge, consisting of fourteen arches, which, at an extraordinary expense, he built over the Avon, together with a causeway running at the west end thereof; as also for rebuilding the chapel adjoining his house, and the cross-aisle in the church there.

 William Shakespeare - Nash's House & New Place
John Leland, on his visit to Stratford-upon-Avon around 1540, included in his description of the town a 'praty howse of brike and tymbar', built by Hugh Clopton, Lord Mayor of London, opposite the Guild Chapel.
Referred to in his will as his 'Great House', and later as 'New Place', it was reputedly the second largest house in the town (the largest being the College in Old Town, which, until the Reformation, had housed the priests who served the parish church).
The house descended in Shakespeare's family until the death of John Barnard, the second husband of Shakespeare's grand-daughter, Elizabeth, in 1674.

Already the Avon (Welsh for 'river') was spanned, as still it is, by a handsome stone bridge built by Sir Hugh Clopton, a wealthy local mercer who had risen to become Lord Mayor of London.
In the heart of Stratford, in the last decade of the fifteenth century, Clopton built himself the biggest house in town, which he called New Place.
It was one measure of the subsequent success in London of another son of Stratford, the glover's boy William Shakespeare, that eventually he in turn would become the proud owner of New Place.
