Thomas Moulson

Sir Thomas Moulson (sometimes spelled "Mowlson") (1582–1638), an alderman and member of the Grocers' Company, was a Sheriff of London in 1624 and Lord Mayor of London in 1634. He represented the City of London as a Member of Parliament in 1628.[1]

Sir Thomas was a native of Hargrave, Cheshire, and in 1627 built a combined chapel and school in the village which is now St Peter's Church, Hargrave. He also set up a trust to maintain the chapel and school.[2]

His wife, Lady Anne Moulson (née Radcliffe; 1576–1661), was commemorated in 1894 by the name of Radcliffe College. One of their grandsons, John Kendrick, became Lord Mayor of London (1634).[3]
