Simon Lowe, alias Fyfield (alive by 1522, died 1578), was a rich English merchant tailor in the City of London, and also a landowner in several counties, briefly one of the members of the House of Commons of England representing two boroughs in other parts of England.
[1] He was Warden of the Merchant Taylors' Company for the year 1549-50, and was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Stafford in October 1553 and New Shoreham in November 1554.
[2] He was Master of the Merchant Taylors' Company during the reign of Queen Mary and one of the jurors who acquitted Sir Nicholas Throckmorton in 1554: the court had been openly hostile to Throckmorton, and as a result of the unexpected verdict it fined and imprisoned the jury.
[4] With Sir William Petre and Sir William Garrard he was an executor of Maurice Griffith's will[5] and, in consequence of this, played a part as an initial trustee in the founding of Friars School, Bangor.
[6] Lowe was included in a return of recusants in the Diocese of Rochester in 1577,[7] but was still buried at St Magnus-the-Martyr on 6 February 1578.
