Kendal Castle was in existence by 1184 when it passed by Marriage to Gilbert Fitz Reinfred, and it was he who constructed it in stone. After that the castle had several owners: 1215 taken by the Crown; given back to William de Lancaster, son of Gilbert; 1246, Peter de Brus; 1272, the Ros family; 1383, the Parr family; 1553 the Crown again, then back to the Parrs in 1559; 1571 back to the Crown. By this time it was falling down. Not until 1813 was any work carried out to prevent further collapse.
John married Agnes Crophull [40001] [MRIN: 9413], daughter of Sir Thomas Crophull [40002] and Unknown.
