In or after 1548, Bartholomew Baron (d. 1548) or his son John Baron, citizen and mercer, acquired 105/1B-2. In 1551, John Baron, with his wife Elizabeth, granted and quitclaimed in the tenement with shops etc., representing 2 and probably 1B, lately occupied by his father and now by himself, to Robert Browne, citizen and goldsmith. In 1555, Robert Browne and his wife Margaret granted the same tenement back to John Baron, who still occupied it. John Barnes (probably identical with John Baron) occupied a house in this part of the parish (the last house listed in the tithe assessment) in 1558. Possibly 1B-2 was the messuage and curtilage which Thomas Cranfield and Edward Ockelshawe recovered from William Leonard, mercer, in 1573; Leonard called Bartholomew Barnes, mercer, to warrant. 5) In 1548, Thomas Baron, citizen and mercer, acquired 145/39 and 105/1A. In 1550 Baron recovered a messuage in St. Pancras parish which may have been part of the settlement of 39. 6) In 1595, Edward Baron or Barnes, citizen and mercer, acquired 145/39 by bargain and sale and by a recovery in which Thomas Wade and John Brown recovered on Baron's behalf. In 1623 Baron granted the property to his sister Julian Stile, widow, by means of a fine. 7) Bartholomew Barne, mercer, was in possession at his death in 1548 of the 2 messuages occupying 104/43. Barne's heir was his son, Thomas Barne. 8) In 1585, Bartholomew Barnes, citizen and mercer, was granted 105/8-9A. 9) In a tithe account of 1602, a Mr. Barnes or Barnesh, was a tenant in 105/22B. 10) The Black Bull (11/8A1) was leased to Edward Barnes, citizen and mercer, from 1605, at L10 rent. Barnes assigned his lease to James Elwick, who paid the L10 rent from 1605 to 1607. 11) Richard Barnes succeeded as tenant of 11/8C in 1554; he paid the L6 rent until 1597. No renewals of Barnes' lease are noted and it may have been a very long one, possibly that granted in 1537-8. In his will of 1597, proved 1598, Richard Barne, citizen and mercer, parishioner of All Saints parish, left his messuage and buildings in Westcheap known as the Swan and the Harp, in which he carried on his trade of mercery, to his son Edward and his heirs. Edward Barnes paid the rent from 1597 to 1640. In 1611 he was granted a new lease of 21 years; the term was extended to 24 years in 1613. In 1634 Edward Barnes was granted another 21-year lease of the messuage in Honey Lane from 1637. In 1638 Mr. Barne paid tithe for a house in Honey Lane worth L16 p.a., and Mr. Nicholson paid tithe for a house worth L13 p.a. It is probable that these 2 houses together comprised 8C, which a few years later was known to have been divided. Edward Barnes was succeeded as rent-payer by Mrs. Katharine Barnes, widow, from 1640 to 1643.] Foxes Book of Martyrs John Barnes Mercer Stephen Gardiner accused him of vandalising the statue of Becket which stood over the Mercers' chapel in Cheapside. 1563, p. 1081; 1570, pp. 1705-06; 1576, p. 1456; 1583, p. 1529. This account of the repeated iconoclasm against the statue of Becket first appears in the 1563 edition and was reprinted without alteration in all subsequent editions. Foxe was certainly drawing on oral sources for this, very probably John Barnes or a member of his family or household. Foxe presents Barnes's grievances in the matter sympathetically, and in some detail. The repeated attacks on the statue are widely reported in other sources (see Brigden, p. 593). Furthermore, this foresaid fourteenth day of February, the lord chancellor, and other his fellow bishops, caused the image of Thomas Becket, that old Romish traitor, to be set up over the Mercer's chapel door in Cheapside in London, in the form and shape of a bishop, with mitre and crosier. Howbeit within two days after his erection, his two blessing fingers were first broken away, and on the next day (being the seventeenth of February) his head also was stricken off. Whereupon arose great trouble, and many were suspected; among whom one Master John Barnes, mercer, dwelling over against the same chapel, was vehemently by the lord chancellor charged withal, as the doer thereof; and the rather, for that he was a professor of the truth. Wherefore he, and three of his servants, were committed to prison; and at his delivery (although it could not be proved upon him) he was bound in a great sum of money as well to build it up again as often as it should be broken down, as also to watch and keep the same. And therefore, at this his compelled charges, the image was again set up the second day of March then next ensuing: but, for lack belike of careful watching, the fourteenth day of the same month in the night, the head of that dangerous beast, over whom there was such charge given, was again the second time broken off: which thing was so heinously taken, that the next day, being the fifteenth day, there was a proclamation made in London, that whosoever would tell who did strike off his head, (though he were of counsel, and not the principal doer,) he should have not only his pardon, but also one hundred crowns of gold, with hearty thanks. But it was not known who did it.
