Note: Stratford guild rentals show the same tenant, John Hoggekyns, continuing in the Henley Street / Middle Row market area between 1466 and 1473. Middle Row was demolished in the 1590s because it blocked traffic through the market. So the place where John Hoggekyns had his butcher shop literally no longer exists — it sat where the open High Street market area is today.

Notes: A list of Guild property is “granted” to people, including John Hawkins, alderman, probably the same as John Hawkins, Bailiff to the King, which includes his “life-lease” [BRT1/2/402] family butcher shop under the witness of [probably] his son John “Hawkesford”, “under the bailiff.” This sounds like it might be passing on the Guild administration of it by enfeoffment of the officers, which would place him among the guild officers administering the property.
