EWRY, John de la

This MP was perhaps a descendant of the John Ewer who was listed among the tenants of the earl of Arundel in the early fifteenth century as paying rent for several properties in Arundel, including three gardens and the house where he lived.1 Two Fitzalan Survs. (Suss. Rec. Soc. lxvii), 116. Following his return to the Parliament at Bury St. Edmunds, nothing is recorded about him, save that he attested the electoral indenture for Arundel for the Parliament of 1460. This, completed at Chichester on 28 Aug., was drawn up between the sheriff of Sussex on the one part and the mayor and six named burgesses on the other, and indicates that de la Ewry had continued to be one of the leading men of the town.2 C219/16/6.
