[58] 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.

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

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.
