John Aglionby (by 1532 – 1575 or later), of Carlisle, Cumbria, was an English politician.

Biography[edit]

Aglionby was probably the son of Edward Aglionby (by 1495 – c. 1553) of Carlisle.[1]

He served as Justice of the Peace of Cumbria in 1554–1669. And he also held the office of coroner in 1556 and 1575.[2]

Aglionby was a Member of Parliament for Carlisle in October 1553 (Mary I's 1st parliament),[1] where he supported the Protestant reforms. He may have represented Carlisle in 1559 (Elizabeth I's 1st Parliament), but did not participate in the debates.[3]

Family[edit]

Aglionby married the daughter of Richard Salkeld of Corby Castle. They had at least one son, Edward Aglionby (died 1599) who represented Carlisle in the parliaments of 1584 and 1593.[1]
