Biography Cornwallမs grandfather, Sir Edmund Cornwall (d.1354) of Thonock (Lincolnshire) and Kinlet, was the son of an illegitimate son of Richard, King of the Romans and earl of Cornwall, so he himself could claim descent from King John. His fatherမs eldest brother, Sir Edmundဠ, died without issue, and the bulk of the family estates (with the exception of Thonock which passed to another brother and his descendants) reverted to Sir Brian and then, at his death on 5 May 1391, to John himself. Cornwall thus inherited the manors of Asthall and Idbury in Oxfordshire, Ashton in Herefordshire, Kinlet, a moiety of the vill of Worthen and part of Caus Forest in Shropshire and other properties in the marches. He had already agreed, however, that his mother should keep two-thirds of Ashton for life, over and above her dower portion. Cornwallမs marriage to Joan Wasteneys brought him Eastham and other property in Worcestershire.

Cornwallမs career, especially in its earlier stages, is difficult to disentangle from that of his more famous namesake the future Lord Fanhope. It was our Member, however, who was retained to serve John of Gaunt in peace and war, by an indenture dated at Bordeaux on 12 Mar. 1395. He was to receive an annuity of 20 marks until he was made a knight, and thereafter one of £20. At that time he was an esquire in the dukeမs household. Which of the two Cornwalls served in Ireland in 1397 as a member of the entourage of Roger Mortimer, earl of March, the Kingမs lieutenant, is uncertain, but it could have been either, for Cornwall of Kinlet was a tenant of the earlမs at Kinlet and Ashton, and his namesake certainly went to Ireland on royal service in the following year and again, on Richard IIမs last expedition, in 1399. Both men soon found favour with Henry IV. Our John Cornwall was knighted by September 1399 when, on the very first day of the reign, he was appointed sheriff of Shropshire, and it was as such that he made the electoral returns to the Parliament which confirmed Henryမs accession. In the following February the King endorsed his annuity charged on the duchy of Lancaster. Two years later Cornwall was alleged to have illegally seized cattle on the manor of ဘWithifordမ (Shropshire), and when the case was referred by the common pleas to the justices of assize the plaintiffs challenged the array of an earlier panel of jurors on the ground that the sheriff, Cornwallမs friend John Darras*, had chosen them on the defendantမs nomination. In October 1402, during his first Parliament, Cornwall made allegations that one Maud Knyton was a spy in the pay of Owen Glendower, but she was released from custody when his suspicions proved unfounded. Cornwallမs zeal against the rebellious Welsh was better directed into military action: in September 1403 he was ordered to garrison Manorbier castle and hold it against Glendowerမs forces, and in November 1404 he and John Burley I* were given formal instructions in the Parliament at Coventry to keep counter-rolls of the armies mustered to go to North Wales on the Kingမs wages and to inform the King and Council regularly as to their strength and numbers. The two took special oaths of fealty to Henry IV before the abbot of Lilleshall, and in the course of the next 14 months they and Thomas Young I* were kept busy supervising the musters of the forces commanded by the prince of Wales and the earl of Arundel. In June 1406 Sir John Cornwall ဘof Shropshireမ was described as a ဘKingမs knightမ. As sheriff of Shropshire (for his third term) he had held the parliamentary elections earlier that year, and he himself was returned again for the shire in 1407. In the following year his services in the marches were rewarded with the grant for life of the keepership of Morfe and Shirlet, a post left vacant by the suicide of his friend John Darras. Cornwall was to relinquish the office before time, however, following complaints made in 1413 that as steward of Morfe he had prevented the dean of the free chapel of Bridgnorth from enjoying rights of common and other franchises. More serious allegations against him were still to come: that April he was required to keep the peace, under a pain of £500; and in the summer of 1414, when the Kingမs bench held sessions at Shrewsbury, he was indicted for harbouring Henry Cornwall, esquire (perhaps an illegitimate son) after he had killed one Ellis Sharpe during sessions of Sir Johnမs own court at Kinlet.

Cornwall did not survive to stand trial. He died on 3 July 1414, leaving as his heir his only surviving daughter, Elizabeth, wife of (Sir) William Lichfieldဠ. The Cornwall estates passed eventually to his great-grand daughter, Margaret (daughter of Roger Corbet*), and after her death in 1453 to Humphrey Blount, grandson of Cornwallမs sister Isabel and her husband (Sir) John Blount II* of Sodington.

According to CP (v. 253-4), it was the Sir John Cornwall who married Henry IV·Äôs sister, Elizabeth, duchess of Exeter, and was cr. Lord Fanhope in 1432, who sat for Shropshire in 1402 and 1407. This seems unlikely, however, for that Sir John, although closely related to the Barons of Burford, owners of very extensive estates in Shropshire as well as in Worcs. and Herefs. (CIPM, xii. 456), is not himself known to have held any property in the shire (C.G.S. Foljambe and C. Reade, House of Cornewall, 170), and his interests in the early 15th century were concentrated in the West Country.

Kinlet was passed through the Cornwalls, to Sir John Cornwall on the death of his father, Sir Brian Cornwall in 1391. His only surviving daughter, Elizabeth, inherited Kinlet in 1414, before marrying Sir William Lichefeld. Sir William Lichefeld held Kinlet until his death in 1446, Kinlet was then passed down to Isabel, sister of Sir John Cornwall and second wife of Sir John Blount II. Sir John Blount II had a son with Isabel, also named John. John inherited Kinlet after his father's death. The estate was passed onto Humphery Blount (grandson of Sir John Blount and his marriage with Isabel) in 1453.
