Coventre served at least one term as mayor of Wycombe, perhaps in the first half of the 1420s. It was in their capacity as former mayors that he, John Welsbourne I* and Thomas Averesdell, along with the then holder of that office, William Stocton (either William Stocton I* or his father and namesake), were summoned to the Exchequer in Easter term 1427. The Exchequer expected them to account for wine illegally sold at Wycombe in Edward III’s reign, but it is unlikely to have succeeded in pressing this somewhat unrealistic demand.2 E159/203, recorda Easter rots. 17-17d.
