| | John Bracy, Tallow Chandler |
 | | The earliest benefactor of the Tallow Chandlers Company of London was one John Bracy, who, by means of his last will, left his small estate to the company and enabled them "to play their part with dignity and usefulness through so many generations." |
 | | As a matter of fact, in the Act of Edward VI this property is not included in the schedule of lands in respect of which the Company was compelled to compound with the Crown. |
 | | His widow Agnes, upon whose decease the Companys reversion was expectant, died, we may presume, in 1477, in which year the will was brought to the Husting Court to be enrolled. |
