Notes:
This John Harington, of the eight generation after John of Lancaster,
lived in Stepney in the eastern section of London. He was born about
1525. He was know as ?The Poet? since he was one of the minor poets
of the Elizabethan Age. He also collected and published the writings
of other writers of that period.
John made a very profitable marriage to Ethelreda Dingley, an
illegitimate daughter of King Henry VIII, and secured from this
union the Manor of Kelston and four other manors in Somerset in
southwestern England. These properties had been taken from Bath
Priory and given to Ethelreda by her father, King Henry.
John supported his natural sister-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, and was
imprisoned for aiding her cause during the struggle for the throne
which followed King Henry?s death.
Ethelreda died about 1555 and John then married Isabella Marham,
daughter of Sir John Markham. He wooed her with love poems and
recorded his attraction toward her ?when first I thought her fair
as she stood at the Princess? window in goodly attire, and talked
with divers (persons) in the court yard?.
With Elizabeth on the throne and John?s position secured, he began
the building of one of the great manor houses of that day at Kelston
