Barony of St John (generations before barony established in 1299)
HENRY DE PORT, son and heir, witnessed Henry I's coronation charter in 1100. He
was sheriff of Hants at some time between 1101 and 1106, and up to 1115 was in
frequent attendance at the King's court. In 1108 he gave a rent to Rochester
cathedral priory with the consent of his wife Hawise and his son Hugh, and
subsequently he founded the priory of Sherborne as a cell of the abbey of St Vigor-
de-Cerisy (-Ia-Forêt), the charter being witnessed by his wife Hawise and his sons
William and John. In or shortly before 1130 he was a justice in eyre in Kent. The
Bayeux Inquest of 1133 shows him holding 3 knights' fees in Normandy of the Bishop
of Bayeux. Henry was a benefactor of Montacute Priory, Somerset, and his wife
Hawise gave 5 hides in West Shefford, Berks, to Sherborne, and 3 virgates in Farley,
Wilts, to the Templars. The date of his death is unknown. His wife Hawise survived
him. [Complete Peerage XI:318, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
