| Mr John Burrough, of London, in 1613, by will, gave £100 to the Bailiffs of Ipswich to purchase lands or tenements to bring in the yearly value of £5, which was to be distributed on Good Friday, after morning service, to forty poor men and women of Ipswich, by the Bailiffs and burgesses, or by the churchwardens, in the parish church of St Lawrence. The property of this charity has now increased so much in value that 300 persons annually receive 3s 6d each from it. His son, John Burrough was one of the twenty-four Chief Constables named by the charter of Charles II in 1665. He was Portman in 1676 and 1690, and in the latter year he presented various books to the public library. In the charter of Charles II of July, 1685, he is called gentleman, and appointed Bailiff, and to which office he was again chosen in 1688. The inscription on his gravestone in St Lawrence's Church states that he died July 26, 1695, aged sixty-eight. John Burrough, of St Stephen's parish, also gave £100 to be laid out in an estate, but the parish neglected to claim it within the time appointed (one year after his death), and it was lost. |

He gave, in 1664, £100 in trust to the Bailiffs, to be lent in sums of £10 each to grocers, of full age and apprenticeship, freemen of Ipswich, if they were orderly, sober, and good husbands, for ten years, without interest, if so many of the grocers should require it; if not, to other tradesmen. In the charter of Charles II in 1665 he is described as Portman and gentleman. The following note appears in the town books: January 20, 1652. "At this Assembly it is ordered that Thomas Burroughs and Thomas Gladwin bond ffor the paiemt. of ffortie Pounds the ffyve and twentieth day of Julie next shalbe taken to Mr. Benjamyn Butter in pt. of Wm. Gladwins yeers Rent due att Michaellmis last past," etc. |
