(IV)SIR HENRY BOYNTON, KT. [1475-1531], second son to Christopher Boynton (II), and Joan his wife, succeeded his elder brother Christopher (III). He founded in con- junction with Richard Barmingham, the chantry of St. Nicholas in the Church of Gilling, for prayers for the souls of the founders, with a yearly rent of fifty-four shillings and fourpence coming out of the lands and tenements in Trenholm, of the possessions of the late monastery of Mount Grace.[1]

Sir Henry married Isabella, daughter and heir of Bertram Lumley, of Ravensworth, and by her had a daughter Isabell,[2] who was married to Sir William Gascoigne, of Gauthorpe.[3]

Sir Henry died on the "vii id ianuarii" (7th January), 1531, and is buried with Isabella, his wife, at Gilling Church, where a handsome slab, now fixed on the west wall of the nave, bears incised figures of a man in armour and his wife, with arms and inscription.
