- SIR JOHN MALLORY, of Studley, and Hutton Conyers, Knight, the eldest son and heir, married Isabel, daughter of Lawrence Hamerton, of Hamerton, in Craven, (Yorkshire), and widow of – Radcliffe, of Lancanshire; although placed by the herald, Glover, in his Visitation, as eldest son and his brother William as second, it appears doubtful whether the latter was not in reality the elder, for in 1475, William Mallory, son and heir of Sir William Mallory and Dionisia Tempest, held livery of half the manor of Washington (Surtees from Rot. Booth, anno 18**), and that he also died without issue, whereby the inheritance devolved on his nephew, Sir William, son of Sir John – for in 1497, Sir William Mallory had license to grant his moiety of the manor and the will, to his son William Mallory (Idem from Rot. Fox anno 3.)
Sir John Mallory’s will is not preserved; but it is evident that he was the founder of the Chantry of St. Wilfred, in Ripon minister, at which were commemorated the souls of Sir John Mallory, and Elizabeth, his wife, Sir William Mallory, and Joan, his wife, and those of their children; Richard Ratcliffe and Agnes, his wife, Sir Richard Hamerton, and Elizabeth his wife, and John Holm, Chaplain (Ripon Chapter Acts 320-1.
In 1535 among the disbursements of St. Wilfred’s Chantry there is a payment of 200 for the obit of Sir John Mallory, Knt., the founder (Valor Eccl. Henry VIII, V. 252.)
The Chantry of St. John, the Evangelist, in Ripon Minister, was founded about the year 1487, by Eliz. widow of Sir John Mallory, (Ripon Chapter Acts, 282.)
