      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      Sir William Capel (c. 1446 - 1515) was the son of John Capell (1398-1449) of Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk. He became Lord Mayor of London and was an MP.

      Sir William was a member of the Worshipful Company of Drapers, who served as Sheriff of the City of London for 1496, and was elected Lord Mayor in 1503. He was elected a member of Parliament for the City of London, from 1511 to 1515.[1]

      Hadham Hall, Hertfordshire
      His mansion stood on the current site of the London Stock Exchange and No. 3 Capel Court, in the city of London, and is named for him. He added a south chapel to the church of St Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange. William also purchased the old Hadham Hall in Little Hadham, Hertfordshire, and its estate would remain in the Capell family from many generations. A new hall was later built there, although it is uncertain whether it was built on the site of the old hall or a new site, which later became the family seat for the Capell family, from the 1570s onwards.

      Sir William married Margaret Arundell, daughter of Sir John Arundell of Lanherne (1421-1473) by his second wife, Katherine Chideocke. They had a son, Giles, and two daughters. Their daughter, Elizabeth Capell, was the first wife of William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester.
