WALLOP, John (d.1405), of Salisbury, Wilts.

Tax collector, Wilts. Dec. 1384.

Mayor, Salisbury 1390;R. Benson and H. Hatcher, Old and New Sarum, 695. It is not clear whether Wallop was mayor in 1389–90 or 1390–1. coroner 1 Nov. 1391–2.Tropenell Cart. ed. Davies, i. 255. On 6 Feb. 1395 the sheriff of Wilts. was ordered to elect a new coroner in Salisbury to replace John Wallop, who had no property in Salisbury and did not live there. This description does not fit the Salisbury MP, and may therefore refer to John Wallop of Hants. On the other hand, the royal order may have been due to contemporary confusion of the two men: CCR, 1392–6, p. 333.
