(IV)JOHN DE BOVINGTON, [1323-1326], son of Sir Robert de Bovington, entered into the inheritance of his father at Hunmanby in chief, and entered therein without licence, but the King granted him this by fine of 40s.[1] In 1323 he granted a messuage and land in Boynton and Rudstone to a chaplain in the Church of St. Andrew, Boynton, to celebrate divine service for himself and the souls of his parents and ancestors, but he apparently did not live to see this accomplished.[2]
