John Pomeroy of Barlynch Priory 

1424.  Who was John Pomeray of Barlynch and who were his parents  ? There are only questions. 

Could John have been unrecorded  brother of Baron Edward Pomeroy who inherited the barony after 1426  d 1446, son of William who was son of Thomas the 5th son of Henry & his Moels wife . Sir Thomas mentioned in a record dated 1372 ;  

- OR  his great Uncle John 3rd of the 5 sons of Henry Pomeroy  & Joanna Moels

or a son of one of those 5 brothers

Baron Sir Edward de la Pomerai, died 1446  (wife MARGARET BEVILLE d 1461 )
His heir was Henry who married  Alice Raleigh who gave him 4 sons & at least 2 daughters
2nd wife was Anna Camell  .  by whom he had a son Henry born 1481.

2nd son John Pomeroy  held Tregony by 1404 and was father to Robert who married Elizabeth Beaumont in about 1471 bringing the manor of Ingsdon in Ilisington near Ashburton into the family

Was John the monk of a later generation , a brother to Hugh Pomeroy of Tregony  2nd son of Sir Edward Pomeroy by Joan Sapcote;  He can be presumed to be younger sons but of whom?

Or could the be from the same origin as Troublesome Thomas ( notable date 1388 ) of the cadet line at Smallridge and Bockerell?

By the later 12th century Brompton Regis had been granted to William de Say, who founded Barlynch Priory in the west of the parish. In the 13th century it passed to the Besil family who had a Motte and Bailey castle  known as Bury Castle.[7]

There is a Bury Castle near Brompton Regis in  Somerset; an Iron Age  fort existed and was reused with the creation of a motte after the Norman Conquest.  It has been scheduled as an ancient monument.[1]

After passing out of the hands of the Prior of Barlynch, patronage of the parish was eventually given to Emmanuel College Cambridge in the late 16th Century. They still share patronage with the Bishop of Bath and Wells and Keble College, Oxford.
