It is believed Richard Cotton was responsible for the commencement of building of Whittington Court. Part of the inscription reads 'He decessed the nine and twenty daye of Maye in the thyrd and fowrth yeare of the reygne of kynge Phillyp and queene Marye anno domini 1556 (SIC)'. It is interesting to see a reference to King Philip of Spain, husband of Queen Mary.
