William was the first son of Thomas Chichele (d.1400) of Higham Ferrers, and Agnes Pynchoun.
His brothers were of Robert and Henry Chichele (d.1443).
He married by Feb. 1390, Beatrice.
Offices Held
Warden of the Grocers' Co. June 1385-6, May 1405-6.3
Warden of London Bridge, Sept. 1401-4; alderman, Aldgate Ward by Feb. 1408-bef. 20 Apr. 1420, auditor, London 21 Sept. 1411-13.4
Common councillor, Grocers' Co. by Jan. 1402.5
Sheriff, London and Mdx. Mich. 1409-10.
Steward of the liberty of the abp. of Canterbury 30 Jan. 1416-his death.
William left two daughters and a son, whose spendthrift ways caused many problems for the family, and must have blighted his fathers last years, not least because of his heavy borrowing from William Oliver. John Chichele, whose marriage to Margery, a daughter of the wealthy and influential grocer, Thomas Knolles, was extraordinarily prolific even by 15th-century standards, eventually managed to regain a degree of financial equilibrium, and even had a hand, as city chamberlain, in managing the reserves of money held in the common chest.
His brothers were of Robert and Henry Chichele (d.1443).
