Thomas Hill,

LORD MAYOR OF LONDON,

Was the son of William Hill, of Hillstone. He was Sheriff of London in 1474, and Lord Mayor of the City in 1484. He was a member of the Grocers' Company. Stow says he "caused of his goods the conduit of Grasse-street to be builded," and that a monument was erected to him in the Mercers' Chapel.
