John de Pulteney

Sir John de Pulteney (sometimes spelled Poultney; died 8 June 1349) was a major English entrepreneur and property owner, who served four times as Lord Mayor of London.

For instance, in July 1325, Robert Burdet of Sheepy, Leicestershire acknowledged that he owed £100 to John de Pulteney.

At the end of his life, he owned or had interests in the following properties that were identified at the subsequent inquisitions post mortem:[18] His will was made on 14 November 1348 and proved at the Court of Hustings, London.
