Askham was a City of London fishmonger. He prospered in his trade, became Lord Mayor of London and was knighted.

Askham's arms were a chevron between three dolphins embowed. This design reflected the arms of the ancient Guild of Fishmongers, similar to those of the present Worshipful Company of Fishmongers (see that article).
