Nicholas Mosley (mayor)
Sir Nich. Mosly — Clothworker, Lord Mayor of the City of London 1599

Sir Nicholas Mosley (ca. 1527 – 1612), also spelt Mosly and Moseley, was a manufacturer of woollen cloth, lord of the manor of Manchester, and Lord Mayor of London.

In 1591 he was a Sheriff of London. In 1596, Mosley bought the manor of Manchester and the same year began to build Hough End Hall at Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Withington. He was elected Lord Mayor of London for 1599.

He died in 1612 and is buried in the Church of St James, Didsbury, where a monument shows him kneeling, "dressed in the robes of the Lord Mayor of London".[1] In his Will, he left £100 to employ a schoolmaster at a salary of £5 a year for twenty years after his death.

The Mosley Baronetcy of Rolleston, Staffordshire, was created in 1640 in the Baronetage of England for Mosley's grandson Sir Edward Mosley, 1st Baronet, of Rolleston Hall.[2]
