Edmund Wright (lord mayor)

Sir Edmund Wright (died July 1643) was an English merchant who was Lord Mayor of London in 1640.

Wright was a city of London merchant and a member of the Worshipful Company of Grocers.

On 23 June 1629 he was elected an alderman of the City of London for Cordwainer ward.

[1] In 1629, he purchased the grounds of Swakeleys House from John Bingley, who had undertaken extensive remedial work on an existing 13th century structure in the grounds[2]—probably timber-framed and wattle filled.

[4] In 1640 Wright became Lord Mayor of London after his predecessor was displaced by parliament.
