Sir Geoffrey or Jeffery Boleyn (1406–1463) was a London merchant and Lord Mayor of London. LifeGeoffrey Boleyn was the son of Geoffrey Boleyn (d. 1440) yeoman of Salle, Norfolk, and his wife Alice;[1] and he was grandson of Thomas Boleyn (d. 1411) of Salle and his wife Anne, an heiress, daughter of Sir John Bracton, a Norfolk knight. Geoffrey went to London, was apprenticed to a hatter, and became a freeman of the city through the Hatter’s Company in 1428. In 1429 he transferred to a grander livery company, the Mercers’ Company. Having served as a Sheriff of London in 1446–47, as Member of Parliament for the city in 1449, and as alderman from 1452 (Castle Baynard, 1452–57, Bassishaw 1457–63),[2] he was chosen Master of the Mercers' Company for the year 1454.[3] He was Lord Mayor of London in 1457–58, and was knighted[4] by King Henry VI.[5] In 1461 he and Geffray Feldyng headed the list of contributors towards a prest of 500 marks granted to the King by the fellowship of the Mercers for the Earl of Warwick to go into the North.[6] He purchased the manor of Blickling in Norfolk from Sir John Fastolf in 1452, and Hever Castle in Kent in 1462.[5] He was buried in the church of St Lawrence Jewry in the City of London.[5] His will was proved in July 1463.[7] SiblingsGroups of five sons and four daughters were presented as mourners on the memorial brasses of the elder Geoffrey and Alice his wife, and were still in situ in Salle's parish church in 1730.[8][9] The principal figures and inscription still remain, but the mourner groups have gone.[10]
