Henry Yevele (c. 1320 – 1400) was an English mason. He was considered[by whom?] to be the most prolific and successful master mason active in late medieval England.[citation needed] The first document relating to him is dated 3 December 1353, when he purchased the freedom of London. In February 1356 he was sufficiently well known as a mason that he was chosen as one of a commission of six cutting masons who were to inform the mayor and aldermen about the acts and articles of the craft.
