LAVYNGTON, Thomas, of Reading, Berks.

Family and Education
m. bef. 1426, Denise.CPL, vii. 451.
Offices Held

?Mayor, Reading Mich. 1421–2, 1426–7.C. Coates, Hist. Reading, app. xiv, claims that Lavyngton was mayor in 1423 and 1426, and A. Aspinall etc. Parl. Through Seven Centuries, 26, that he held office in 1422 and 1430. However, others are recorded occupying the mayoralty in the years 1422–4 and 1429–31 (Reading Pub. Lib. cofferers’ accts. R/FA/1422–4, 1430–1; deed 114; C219/13/1, 2), so if Lavyngton was ever mayor, it can only have been in 1421–2 and/or 1426–7, when the evidence is deficient.

J.p. Berks. 13 Nov. 1448 – June 1449, 22 Mar. 1452-Jan 1454.
