Thomas Horsley information


Thomas Horsley (1462–ca.1545) was a Northumberland corn merchant and merchant adventurer,[a] who by the start of 16th century was a prominent citizen of Newcastle upon Tyne in North East England.[2] As well as becoming a local magistrate, he was Sheriff of Newcastle in 1512 and its Lord Mayor in 1514, 1519, 1524–5 (for consecutive years) and 1533.[3][4] In various official capacities, Horsley played an active role in defending the town's mercantile interests, and in 1522, during the Anglo-Scottish Wars, also served as a captain in forces of the English crown under the command of Lord Conyers.[2] He is remembered today primarily as the founder of Newcastle's Royal Grammar School.[5][6]
