John's birth year is not known. He was the son of John Brome and Joan Rody.[1][2]

John Brome held Baddesley Clinton (he purchased the manor in 1438[3][4]), Lapworth Hall in Lapworth, and property in Warwick, Warwickshire.[1][2]

He was a lawyer who served various magnates and Henry VI.[5] For Henry VI he held a position in the royal treasury.[6] In December 1450 he was ejected from the post of Chamberlain of the Exchequer.[7]

Death
John Brome died shortly before 2 November 1469.[1][2] He was assassinated as he was hearing Mass at the Carmelite church in London by John Herthill, steward to Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick,[9] apparently because of disputes over land which led to a brawl.[10] He was buried at Whitefriars, London.[1][2] He made a deathbed will in which he forgave his son Thomas who had smiled when he saw him run through by John Herthill.[10]
Descendants
A number of John Brome's descendants in the next century were recusants.[8]
