The succession of the medieval mayors of Bodmin is uncertain, as little contemporary evidence survives. An early modern list gives the name of the mayor in 1439–40, 1442–3 and 1455–60 as Thomas Langher (or Laugher): Cornw. RO, Bodmin bor. recs., B/Bod/302, f. 4v; Maclean, i. 235. Elsewhere he is called ‘Langhen’: Bodmin bor. recs. List of mayors.
