Sir John Spring (died 1549) of Lavenham, Hitcham, and Cockfield was an English merchant and politician who inherited the Spring family cloth trading business upon his father’s death. He was knighted by Henry VII. Spring aided the dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk in suppressing the Lavenham revolt of 1525, by removing the bells from the Church of St Peter and St Paul, meaning the rebels could not be called to arms.[1]
