John Ireton

Sir John Ireton (1615–1689) was Lord Mayor of London in 1658 and brother of General Henry Ireton.[1]

Biography edit

John Ireton was knighted by Oliver Cromwell, and purchased the estate of Radcliffe-on-Soar, in Nottinghamshire from Colonel Hutchinson.[2] In 1652 he was appointed a Sheriff of London and in 1658 elected Lord Mayor of London.[3]

In 1660 at the Restoration, he was excluded from the Act of Indemnity, and for a time imprisoned in the Tower of London.[4] An allusion to which circumstance is made by Pepys in his "Diary," under the date 1 December 1661.[5] According to a letter in the State Papers, in 1662 he was removed to the Scilly Islands; but if this were so, he was shortly after liberated, for in a list of thirteen "fanatics" at East Sheen, in 1664, where "conventicles were innumerable," is the name of "John Ireton, Formerly Lord Mayor."[2] in 1685 he was again imprisoned for seditious practices,[6] and, dying in 1689, was buried in London at the church of St. Bartholomew-the-Less.[2]
