Ironmonger. Born in Stourbridge. He established iron works in County Durham, and was ahead of his time in the enlightened way in which he treated his employees. In 1705 he moved to Greenwich, to a riverside mansion which he renamed Crowley House and built Crowley's Wharf. The medallion shows him with his wife Mary.
