Gleaston Hall, Aldingham, Lancashire, England [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] |
- Gleaston Castle is situated in a valley about 0.5 km north-east of the village of Gleaston, which lies between the towns of Ulverston and Barrow-in-Furness in the Furness peninsula, Cumbria, England.
The castle is first mentioned specifically in 1389, although Sir John de Harrington, 2nd Baron Harington of Aldingham is said to have died at Gleaston in 1369. It is generally assumed that the castle was begun by his grandfather Sir John, 1st Baron Harington at around the time he was summoned to Parliament in 1326. It has been suggested that the Harington family may have found it necessary to move from Aldingham as the sea was eating away at the cliff on which their tower was built. Another alternative explanation is that they needed more room for a greater number of servants.

Cartmel Priory, Cartmel, Cumbria, England [2, 3] |
- Cartmel Priory church serves as the parish church of Cartmel, Cumbria (formerly in Lancashire). The priory was founded in 1190 by William Marshal, created 1st Earl of Pembroke, intended for the Augustinian Canons and dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin and Saint Michael. To support the new house William granted it the whole fief of the district of Cartmel.[1] It was first colonised by a prior and twelve monks from Bradenstoke Priory in Wiltshire.[2] The only other surviving monastic building is the gatehouse which faces the village square. The church is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Windermere, the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle. Its benefice is united with those of St Mary, Allithwiate, St Peter, Field Broughton, St John the Baptist, Flookburgh, St Paul, Grange-over-Sands, Grange Fell Church, Grange-Over-Sands, and St Paul, Lindale, to form the benefice of Cartmel Peninsula.[3] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.
Between 1327 and 1347 a chapel with four traceried windows was provided by Lord Harrington in the south choir aisle, and in fact his tomb is still in the building. The gatehouse, which apart from the church itself is the only surviving structure of the priory, was built between 1330 and 1340.

| Notes |
- John Harington, 2nd Baron Harington (1328-1363)[2] of Aldingham in Furness, Lancashire, was an English peer, who inherited the title Baron Harington in 1347 on the death of his grandfather John Harington, 1st Baron Harington (1281-1347).
Origins
He was the son of Sir Robert Harington (d.1334), who predeceased his own father the 1st Baron.[4]
His mother was Elizabeth de Multon (born 1306), daughter of Thomas de Multon and one of the three sisters and co-heiresses of John de Multon.[5] She was the heiress of several estates including: Thurston in Suffolk; Moulton, Skirbeck and Fleet in Lincolnshire , of Egremont in Cumbria and of manors in County Limerick, Ireland.[6]
Elizabeth outlived her husband and in about 1334 remarried to Walter de Birmingham.[7]
Career
In 1353 he confirmed the agreement made by his grandfather with the Abbot of Furness Abbey,[8] his feudal overlord at Aldingham.[9] In 1355 he nominated an attorney to act for him in Ireland, where he had inherited lands in County Limerick from his mother.[10] John Harington was granted a lease of the manor of Hornby by Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster and also held the manors of Bolton-le-Moors, Chorley and Aighton. In 1358 he moved to London to take part in services for king Edward III.
Marriage & progeny
The name of his wife is not known, possibly she was Joan de Birmingham, daughter of his step-father Walter de Birmingham.[11] By his wife he had progeny including:
Robert Harington, 3rd Baron Harington (1356–1406)
Death & burial
He died on 28 May 1363 at his seat Gleaston Hall[12] in the manor of Aldingham,[13] and was buried in Cartmel Priory in Lancashire.[14]
