Richard Sherman

Richard Sherman was an English ironmonger and property owner in Derby. He was assessed to pay the poll tax of 1379 at the highest rate of 18d. Later, certainly in the 1390s, he was involved in manufacture of cloth.

He served two terms as a bailiff and served two terms as a Member of Parliament from Derby, being chosen first in November 1384, serving with John de Stockes, and again in 1391 with Thomas Docking.
