Sir Humphrey Weld

Sir Humphrey Weld (died 29 November 1610) was an English merchant who was Lord Mayor of London in 1608.

He was the fourth son of John Weld of Eaton and his wife Joanna FitzHugh.

[1][2] He settled in Holdwell, Hertfordshire and became a City of London merchant and a member of the Worshipful Company of Grocers.

In 1600 he was among the aldermen led by Mayor Sir Nicholas Mosley who unsuccessfully appealed to the Marquess of Winchester for funds for the repair of the steeple of the church of the Austin Friars.

[5] The Latin inscription on his tomb, together with long poetic epitaph, which were in the south aisle of St Olave, Old Jewry, are recorded in Anthony Munday's edition of John Stow's Survey of London.
