DescriptionDigital image of a drawing of Samuel Green Cooke, Colchester mayor in 1837 and 1839The 'missing mayor', drawn from life, sitting in the old medieval Moot Hall under the Royal Arms as chief magistrate. Copied from a drawing in a private book of press cuttings in the Local Studies Library, long since gone to Essex Record Office. He is the missing mayor because otherwise we have images of all the mayors since the Municipal Reform Act 1835, most early ones having been collected by Bernard Mason's father and now hang in the town hall with all those since.
