John Clopton (died 1497)

John Clopton (1423–1497) was the sheriff of Suffolk and Norfolk and a member of John de Vere, 12th Earl of Oxford’s ill-fated conspiracy against Edward IV. Clopton was the only conspirator to receive a pardon and escape with his life. He was the principal benefactor of Holy Trinity Church, Long Melford, described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as ‘one of the most moving parish churches of England’.^[1]
