  Notes	Source: http://nelsonfamilies.com/index.php/george-nelson-lord-mayor-of-london He became common cryer of the City. The office of Common Cryer and Sergeant-at-Arms may be the oldest of the three ceremonial offices. The Common Cryer and Sergeant-at-Arms carries the Great Mace of Government before the Lord Mayor. The office was established well before 1338 when it was held by one of the King?s Serjeant-at-Arms. In 1419 the title held by the mace bearer was Common Sergeant-at-Arms of the City, otherwise called the Common Cryer. He had a salary of sixty shillings a year, robes, fees from the Alderman and Sheriffs and a ?sufficient horse? for the honour of the City. By 1559 the current title was in use.
