Men of Kent and Kentishmen/John Easday
John Easday
John Easday, who, it may be assumed, was a Kentish man, was, according to Fuller, an Alderman and Mayor of the city of Canterbury in the year 1585. Though a person of "but an indifferent estate," he repaired the walls of the city, which were fallen to decay, "as far as his name is inscribed on the wall," an example which, the chronicler adds, has found many panegyrists, but few imitators.
