biography text

At the beginning of the 1566 session of Parliament Gardiner was in the Fleet following a Chancery suit brought against him over a Suffolk manor. Possibly, therefore, he was the John Gardiner, gentleman, living in that county, whose lands were valued at £20 in the 1568 subsidy return. However this may be, on 9 Oct. 1566 the lord keeper complied with a request from the Commons that Gardiner be discharged until the end of the Parliament. He died 11 Nov. 1586. His inquisition post mortem mentions property in London and Stoke Newington.1CJ, i. 70, 74; C. Monro, Acta Canc. 366; C3/179/14; C78/38 no. 4; Suff. in 1568 (Suff.
