Sir William Harpur (c. 1496 – 27 February 1574) was an English merchant and philanthropist who served as Lord Mayor of London in 1561. Born in Bedford, he moved to London and amassed a large fortune.[1] In 1566, Harpur and his wife Alice gave an financial endowment to support several charities including ones focused on education.[1] The endowment eventually became the Harpur Trust, which supports four independent schools in Bedford today.[1]
