Notizen bei John WALSH

John Walsh was succeeded by his son, Sir John Walsh, who married Anne, daughter of Sir Robert Pointz. John and Lady Anne Walshe were the masters of Little Sodbury, the estate where William Tyndale, who later translated the Bible into English, worked for two years (circa 1521) after leaving Cambridge, probably as a tutor to their two young sons. They were known in the region for their hospitality to both nobility and clergy; it was at their table that Tyndale challenged a visiting cleric, "If God grant me life, ere many years pass I will see that the boy behind his plow knows more of the Scriptures than thou dost!" Exposed to reformation thinking by Tyndale, the Walshes gave him money to support himself in Europe, and later made efforts to get him released from Vilvoorde prison.

John won the favour of Henry VIII. by acting as his champion at the King's coronation in 1509, and was knighted about the same time. John was Sheriff in Gloucestershire in 1526-27 and again in 1535-36. In a list of Sheriffs of county Gloucester, Sir John Walsh is cited in the years 1525, 1529, 1534, and 1539. In 1535 the King and the Queen (Anne Boleyn) paid Sir John a visit at Little Sodbury, and a few years later the King gave Sir John the manors of Old Sodbury and Chipping Sodbury.

John Walsh died, circa 1545-46, seized of the manor of Kingrove, held of the manor of Old Sodbury in soccage of the Queen, and of the manor of Little Sodbury, having issue by Ann, Maurice, son and heir, who married Bridget, son of the daughters of Nicholas Vaux, knight, Lord Harrowden. John's Will was proven in 1547 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury.
