Sir William Whorne

Sir William Whorne was Lord Mayor of London in 1487. He is sometimes also reported as William Horne or William Littlebury.

He erected a house, Whorne's Place, on the north bank of the River Medway at Cuxton, Kent, between Halling and Strood. In Tudor times this was the principal house in the village but only an outlying granary survived in 1971.
