Adam Bamme

Adam Bamme (died 1397) was an English goldsmith and politician who served two non-consecutive terms as Lord Mayor of London in the 14th century.

[1] A member of the Goldsmiths' Company, he gained a reputation for skillful workmanship that earned him a place as a chief supplier to the household of John of Gaunt.

His first wife, whom he married in 1375, was the widow of another goldsmith, while his second was a thrice-widowed, wealthy heiress, daughter of John Stodeye, MP.

During this term, Bamme negotiated the purchase of a very large quantity of grain to store in anticipation of future shortages in the city.

Also during his first term, he issued a proclamation to silence the ongoing political dispute between the supporters of two previous mayors, Nicholas Brembre and John Northampton.
