PERNECOTE, William, of Reading, Berks.

Attestor, parlty. elections, Reading 1449 (Feb.), 1449 (Nov.), 1453.

Cofferer, Reading 2 Feb. – 29 Dec. 1447; constable Mich. 1448 – aft.24 Oct. 1449, Mich. 1452–3; Reading Recs. ed. Guilding, i. 27, 29, 30; C219/15/7; 16/2. mayor 1455 – 56, 1459 – 60, 1474–5. Reading Recs. i. 47, 49, 69. Pernecote is named as mayor in a deed dated 5 Oct. 1455 (CAD, i. A561), and received the mayor’s fee for 1455–6 (Berks. RO, Reading recs., cofferers’ accts. R/FA/2, no. 38), so the references to William Rede holding the office in that term (Reading Recs. i. 43) must be incorrectly dated.
