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.","brand":"Boydell \u0026 Brewer Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40046901100627,"sku":"9781910653081","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781910653081_a8f1027e-4fae-473f-a0b7-acee8160c5d5.jpg?v=1771309840","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/borough-government-in-restoration-grantham-the-hall-book-of-grantham-1662-1704","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
