Sir Henry Maleverer, generally called Henry of Cornhill, was a grocer in the times of King Henry IV of England. He was a crusader, and was appointed by the King of Jerusalem as the guardian of "Jacob's well."[1] His life was documented as a famous Londoner in Nine Worthies of London by Richard Johnson in 1592.[2]
