John Harington, 1st Baron Harington of Exton

[3] On New Year's Day 1596 he produced a performance of Titus Andronicus and a masque written by his brother-in-law Sir Edward Wingfield at his house at Burley-on-the-Hill.

[4] A contemporary noted that he paid for the extravagant household, horses, and hunting of his daughter Lucy and the Earl of Bedford, and was forced to lease out his lands on unfavourable terms to raise money.

[5] On 23 April 1603 he entertained King James I on his journey from Scotland at Burley with dinner and a welcoming speech written by Samuel Daniel.

He returned on 25 April and fell off his horse, injuring his arm, and after staying the night left in Harington's coach.

After his death his estate at Exton was sold to pay his creditors, being purchased by Sir Baptist Hicks.
