Richard Mayo (minister)

Richard Mayo (Mayow) (1631?-1695) was an English nonconformist minister who after ejection in 1662 from his living ran a separatist congregation.

In early life he was at school in London under the Puritan John Singleton, and he entered the ministry when very young.

During the Interregnum he obtained the vicarage of Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, as a successor to Edmund Staunton.

Towards the end of the reign of Charles II he settled as minister of a presbyterian congregation meeting at Buckingham House, College Hill, Upper Thames Street.

After the Toleration Act (1689) his congregation moved to a newly built meeting-house in Salters' Hall Court, Cannon Street.
