Borough Governance. The town's charters and rights were confirmed
and extended in 1664 by the Charter of Charles II. James II's
Charter of 1685 led to the Alderman becoming Mayor, the First
Twelve becoming Aldermen and the Second Twelve becoming
Councillors. James also sought to extend his powers with more
rights to interfere, as with other cities and boroughs across the
country. The Quo Warranto issued in April 1688 and the removal of
six Aldermen resulted in an un-sought for Charter later in 1688 but
this may not have even been physically received in Grantham as the
events of the Glorious Revolution intervened and governance was
restored under the terms of the 1631 Charter of Charles I. The
borough of Grantham was then governed in these terms until the
Municipal Corporations Act of 1835. Subsidiary themes include the
precautions against plague in 1665; the issue and recall of the
town's half-pennies in 1667-1674; references to non-conformity in
1668-69 and the lives of some of the Corporation members.
