Lawrence Campe (died 1613)[1] was a draper's merchant and citizen[2] of the City of London who gave money to build almshouses in "Fryan Barnett". The Lawrence Campe Almshouses at Friern Barnet Lane, Whetstone, are grade II listed buildings with Historic England.[3] After his death, his widow married Thomas Tooke who also made charitable donations for the poor. Campe is remembered in Lawrence Campe Close, adjacent to his almshouses in Whetstone.
