10,"Andrew Horn","M","Fishmonger","Lawyer","(c.1275?1328). Horn was an 'administrator and chronicler, probably belonged to a long-established London family, but his relationship to any of the earlier and numerous Horns of London and Southwark is unknown. He is otherwise first mentioned as warden of the fishmongers' guild in 1307, and as a ?fishmonger of Bridge Street?, liable for a modest contribution of 5s. to the subsidy of 1319, and as witness to a number of Bridge House deeds from 1321 to 1327. At his death he owned two tenements, one in the parish of St Magnus in Bridge Street, probably his principal residence, and the other in Lucas Lane, in the parish of St Leonard at Eastcheap. That he practised as a fishmonger is evident from the suits brought against him in 1307 and 1315 for giving short weight in his fish baskets; but his compilations show that, from 1311 at latest, his interests, and probably his career, were increasingly formed by the practice of law and the defence of city privileges in the London courts. His access to city muniments implies that he had some position in the legal world of the Guildhall before he was elected chamberlain on 16 January 1320, a position he held until his death, which occurred between 9 and 23 October 1328'.
