Biography
Taverner witnessed a deed at Rochester in May 1401. Early in 1405 he was employed by the sheriff of Kent to deliver a summons to William Swinburne*, requiring his appearance in Chancery. His wife had inherited a messuage and lands to the south of Rochester, at East Malling, which, however, the couple sold in 1411.1

Notes
He may have been related to a namesake of Rochester who died before 1360, but, if so, not closely, for that Thomas Taverner’s heirs were his nephews, Thomas and John Campenade: CAD, ii. B3072, 3154, 3156.
