| The Sparrows were of a family of some consideration; they served various offices in the town: John Sparrow was Member of Parliament in 1541; John Sparrow, probably the token-issuer, is described as a gentleman, in 1665, and John Sparrow was Bailiff in 1722. Many monuments to various members of the family still exist in the Church of St Lawrence, in which parish they resided. One of the family built a great house in Thurlston, called the Sparrow's Nest, where the name ist still to be found. |

| Robert Sparrowe was of the same family as the last mentioned. Robert Sparrowe, Portman, who died in 1594, has a memorial in the church of St Mary Tower. Robert Sparrow, "a man of great note," who lived in Ipswich in the time of Charles II, lent, in conjunction with his son-in-law, Robert Clarke, to the Corporation, whose finances were then very low, the sum of £300. Robert Sparrow was Bailiff in 1659, 1666, and 1671, and is described as gentleman and Bailiff in the charter of Charles II, 1665; he gave £5 to the public library in Ipswich in 1640. Robert Sparrow held estate in OFfton in the time of Charles II, and some of the family are still there. In the town books we read: "April 28, 1653. At this Court Mr. Robt. Sparrowe who was fformerlie chosen into the office of one of the Comon Councell of this Towne by Mr. Henry Whitinge made request to be discharged of the sd Office for A fyne; and the same being moved to the Court, it was ordered that he should not be admitted to a fyne." The birds on the token are probably intended for sparrows, being a play on the name. The arms of the Sparrows of Ipswich are: Argent, three roses purple, seeded or. barbed vert; a chief of the second. |
