Robert Wood (mayor)

Then followed the officers of the city every one in his place; then the swordbearer with the sword and hat of maintenance; then the mayor and 24 aldermen, and recorder, all in scarlet gownes, whereof so many as had been mayors of the city, and were justices, did wear their scarlet cloaks; then followed so many as had been sheriffs and not aldermen, in violet gowns and sattin tippets; then followed divers others to keep the people from disturbing the array aforesaid.

[3]He married Anne, 3rd daughter of Augustine Steward, Esq., mercer, alderman and also Mayor of Norwich[1][4] and had by her five children:[5] His son Robert Wood of Brakene purchased the manor of Braconash in 1622 from Sir Edwyn Rich, knight,[1] He married Anne,[7][5][6] daughter and coheir of John Woolmer of Tharston, Esq., and settled the manor on his wife.
