John Harington, 4th Baron Harington

[5] He returned to France for a second expedition in 1417,[6] serving under Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester with a company of 86 archers and 29 men-at-arms, but he died on 11 February 1418 of causes unknown during the course of the campaign.

In it, he directed that two priests be appointed "to celebrate divine service and to pray for the souls of my father and mother and all my ancestors".

This led to the foundation of the Harington Chantry, for in that year a royal licence was granted by King Henry V for the foundation of a chantry "at the altar in the Chapel of the Blessed Mary", which was the altar in the south aisle of St. Dubricius Church and which is still called the Lady Chapel.

However, no steps appear to have been undertaken to carry out his wishes until July 1474, about three years after the death of his wife Elizabeth.

Although he died in 1418, his distinctive English-style plate armour can be dated closer to about 1440, and it displays some interesting transitional features.
