Sir John Schorne (died 1313) was rector of North Marston in the English county of Buckinghamshire.
He is often pictured holding a boot with a devil in it, which was thought to be the origin of the children's jack-in-the-box toy.
When he died, his shrine in the church at North Marston became a popular place of pilgrimage and he was regarded by many as a saint, although he was never canonised.
His remains were later moved to St George's Chapel, Windsor, the burial place of English monarchs.
[3] One of the two team benefices in Claydon Deanery is named after Schorne to this day.
