Sir John [iii] Arundell of Lanherne (c.1474- 1545), was made a knight of the Bath when Prince Henry was created duke of York in 1494, and led troops both against Cornish rebels in 1497 and to France in 1513, when he was dubbed a knight-banneret. Appointed to the Cornish bench in 1509, he served continually on commissions for the south-west counties. Receiver of the duchy of Cornwall by 1508, he relinquished the position in 1533 to his younger son, Sir Thomas Arundell of Wardour (c.1502-1552). By refusing a barony in 1525, Sir John [iii] showed that he recognized the economic demands inherent in such a rank, and he was also unwilling to live at court as he grew older. None the less, in the absence of a resident aristocracy in Cornwall, the Arundells of Lanherne were noble in all but name, and contemporaries called them the great Arundells. Sir John's appointment with his son to the council of the west in 1539 reflected the continued importance of the Arundells to the crown, to which they were linked by his marriage to Eleanor, daughter of Thomas Grey, marquess of Dorset. Following her death, about 1503 he married Katherine Grenvile of Stowe (b. 1489—93), a match closer to home and requiring a papal dispensation, and suggesting a personal choice rather than a strategic alliance. She survived him.
A devoted family man and considerate of his spiritual life, Sir John [iii] Arundell founded a chantry at St Mawgan and entrusted his children to Katherine's care before embarking with troops to France in 1513. A decade later, he cared for his daughter-in-law, left abandoned and pregnant in London when financial embarrassment caused her husband, his son and heir, John, to flee temporarily to the continent. His second son, Thomas, engaged in negotiations for the marriages of two of his sisters who were serving Queen Jane Seymour in 1536. Mary Arundell (d. 1557) married Robert Radcliffe, earl of Sussex, and Thomas Cromwell proposed the marriage of her half-sister Jane (d. 1577) to his own son Gregory. However, Jane never married, and her father provided her with substantial support for life. A gentlewoman in Queen Mary's household, she returned eventually to Lanherne and is commemorated in St Mawgan church. Cromwell's failure to base his family's dynastic aspirations upon an Arundell alliance is unsurprising. The confraternal association of the Lanherne family with the Carthusians reflected deep piety and devotion to traditional religion. Religious change in England marked a turning point for them, although their enormous wealth enabled them to survive the difficulties brought upon them by their spiritual loyalties during the sixteenth century. Sir John [iii] died on 8 February 1545, possessed of substantial properties which included nearly 6000 acres in Devon alone and with lands in Devon and Cornwall valued at nearly £400. Buried at St Columb Major on 20 February, he had spent the last years of his life, and died, at the home of his nephew, Richard Roscarrock of Roscarrock in St Endellion parish, also an opponent of religious change.∼Knight of Trerice and Lanherne. Knight of the Bath. Knight Banneret. Receiver for the Duchy of Cornwall.
Eldest son of Sir Thomas Arundell (c.1452-85) KB and his wife Catherine, daughter of Sir John Dinham. He was made a Knight of the Bath when Prince Henry was created Duke of York in 1494. He led troops against Cornish rebels in 1497 and to France in 1513, where he was made a Knight Banneret at the Battle of the Spurs. He was Receiver General for the Duchy of Cornwall, 1508-33, when he was succeeded by his son; JP for Cornwall from 1509. He is said to have declined a peerage in 1525, feeling that he lacked the means to support the dignity, and that he did not wish to be in constant attendance at court as he grew older. He was appointed, with his son, to the Council of the West in 1539, but he was out of sympathy with the religious changes of the 1540s. He founded a chantry at St. Mawgan before leaving for France in 1513 and remained a religious traditionalist.
