Geoffrey de Stockwell
Mayor of Oxford 1237/8, 1238/9, and 1239/40
Geoffrey de Stockwell (or Stokewell / Stocwell / Stokkewell) was the son of Richard de Stockwell and the brother of Nicholas de Stockwell, who was also to serve as Mayor. The surname derives from a well in Oxford.
Anthony Wood states that Geoffrey ("Galfridus") Stockwell owned Stockwell (later Montacute’s) Mead, near St Frideswide’s Priory; there was also a Stockwell’s Well (between the present Worcester College and the canal) and a Stockwell Street (which ran northwards from the Castle along the line of the present Worcester and Walton Streets).
