Thomas Sekford (1515-1587) was a senior lawyer and Member of Parliament. Heralding from Suffolk, he was also a major landowner in the county and is well remembered as a great benefactor to the town of Woodbridge, where he resided at Seckford Hall. This token commemorates his contribution and financial support given to the production of the first County Maps of England undertaken during the 1570s.
