Richard Aylmer (politician)

After his father's death his mother remarried to Thomas Thursby (d.1510).

Though this could be in the capacity as his step-son, Richard Aylmer is named together with the rest of Thomas Thursby's sons-in-law as four of the executors of his will.

When reaching St. Peter Mancroft in Norwich, Francis Blomefield, Rector of Fersfield in Norfolk, was met with the following view: The following inscriptions are in the nave; and first of those on brass plates, beginning at the most eastern part, just by the step out of the chancel, lies a large stone, having the effigies of a mayor in his robes, between his two wives; by the first wife are the effigies of her children, two boys and two girls; and by the second four girls; it being placed here in memory of Richard Aylmer, mayor in 1511, son of Robert Aylmer, who was mayor in 1481, and 1492, and Joan his first wife; he died in 1512.
