Chamberlin.—This family was well represented on the Company. There were Richard, George, and Robert. Alderman Richard, Master 1560 and 1565, died November 19, 1566, and was buried in St. Olave, Old Jewry. His epitaph stated:—
To the poore he was liberall and gave for God’s sake,
But now his fame is plentifull and he a Heavenly make;
He was like one of vs, according to our mould,
But now he unlike vs in Heaven where he would;
His time was short in sicknesse rare as to all is knowne,
But now his time shall long endure and never be cast downe.
