Sir John Hotoft, Sheriff of London

concerns

This Sir John is the same as Private. Waiting since May 11, 2020 for that profile to be made public so that it can be merged with this profile.

brief biography

From 'Early History of Knebworth House' (link below):

Sir John Hotoft was Treasurer of the Household of Henry VI. He built the tower of St. Mary's Church in the park and was buried there in 1443. He is of special interest in that his daughter, Agnes, married Sir Robert de Lytton, Governor of Bolsover Castle and Grand Agister of the Forests of the Peak -- the first connection between Knebworth and the Lyttons of Derbyshire.
