† John Beaumont, Esq. of Thringston, county of Leicester, was appointed Jan. 30, 1534–5, to take the ecclesiastical survey of the county of Leicester. He was appointed Recorder of Leicester in 1550, and in the same year, Dec. 3, was constituted Master of the Rolls. He resigned that office in disgrace May 28, 1552. He was grandfather of Francis Beaumont, the dramatic poet. (See Nichols's History of Leicestershire, vol. iii. pp. 655, 661*, 1125.) His “fellow Whalley” above mentioned was the receiver of Yorkshire.
