How did Nicholas come to live in Warwick?

It is thought that Nicholas came to Warwick under the patronage of Sir Thomas Lucy of Charlecote. A patron recruited Nicholas to do work for him, and encouraged, and probably helped the person to become well known in his field of work. Once known, a person would be asked to do work by other people.

During his lifetime he became a burgess of Warwick. Burgesses were men who owned property over a certain value, who lived in a borough. Often the men were in trade.
