   Thomas was Sheriff, then Mayor of London[1][2] (the second title usually awarded after satisfactory completion of the first). In 1400, he directed the rebuilding of Guildhall, London's "city hall," and main administative building at the time. He was also a member of the Grocers Company in the City of London, a guild which oversaw the purity of spices and authentication of weights and measures. [3] He also remembered for having St. Antholin's Church in Watling Street rebuilt, where he was buried with his wife, Joan. His will, dated 20 May 1435, was proved 11 July 1435 at Lambeth, where it is still preserved.
   
   Knolleys was a forebear of Robert Knollys (great-great-grandson) and Francis Knollys (Robert's son).
   
   Knollys is said by Dugdale to have been descended from Sir Robert Knollys or Knolles (d 1407), the soldier, but, according to Sidney Lee in the Dictionary of national Biography, this is an error. Discussing Francis Knolly's, Lee states: "Sir Francis's pedigree cannot be authentically traced beyond Sir Thomas [4]
