Robert and Philip Worminghall were both ordered to be expelled from Oxford in 1298 for their involvement in a town-and-gown riot that had started when clerks attacked a bailiff at Carfax, and a layman and clerk were killed.
In 1317 Worminghall must have been thinking of his death, as he founded a chantry in the Church of St Peter-le-Bailey (the earliest recorded perpetual chantry to commemorate an individual or family in Oxford).
Worminghall died early in 1324 and was buried in St Peter-le-Bailey churchyard (now Bonn Square).
Philip Worminghall (or de Wormhale/Wormenhale) (d.1314) appears to have been the younger brother of Robert Worminghall (Mayor in 1298), and like him was a promient Oxford merchant.
In about 1310 Worminghall turned a couple of houses in the High Street and several tenements in Turl Street into an inn with front and back entrances (now the Mitre).
In the royal tallage of 1312, Philip was assessed on goods worth £50 and rent of £13: he and Robert Worminghall (probably his brother) were by far the most prominent merchants in the city.
