William Lambe

1569-1570 Master of the Clothworkers' Company. Three wives but childless which allowed for his philanthropy. 1564-1577 he financed the rebuilding of the Holborn Conduit which, until its demolition in 1746, supplied water to the City from a spring near what is now Lamb's Conduit Street.
