Some Famous People called John Stratford

John Stratford (verderer)

John Stratford (1380 – July 1433), also known as John Stratforde, was a medieval English verderer and landowner.

John was born into the landed Wessex Stratford Family of Hampshire and Wiltshire, son of Robert Stratford, grandson of Andrew de Stratford. As his father died when he was still in infancy, John was raised as a ward of the King. On reaching 21 John inherited much of his late father's and grandfather's estates in Hampshire and Wiltshire, including a meadow called ‘Haresmede’ in South Baddesley in the New Forest, and land in Alderstone, Farnham, Chute, Whelpley, Cowesfield, and Winterbourne. He regularly sat as a juror in Inquisitions Post Mortem, and acted as Verderer in the forests of Chute and Milchet in Wiltshire until his death in July 1433.
