2023 research by ALM & AJP has revealed that there may well have been a Henry Pomeroy in the household of Sir Thomas Pomeroy & his Agnes Kelloway.
Records tell us tha she was married to William Barrett by 1449 and dead by 1481 thus IF she was married at puberty, about 12 was quite common, she might have been born about 1437 and would have been about 43 0r 44 when she died; that suggests she might have had a son, and died in childbirth.
Henry was a half brother of Sir Thomas Pomeroy d 1493 , St Clere d 1471 , John & Baron Richard Pomeroy d 1496 . Henry would have been 6 or 7 whne his father Henry died & may have been adopted by his much older half brother Sir Thomas & his wife Agnes.
In the early 1400s the Kelloways were prominent in Sherborne, and John Kayleway was present in 1436 when, during a dispute between the monks, and townspeople, the parish priest set the roof of Sherborne Abbey alight. During the 40 years of rebuilding the Abbey the family might have been involved with the provision of new stained glass windows, as glazing grosing irons are seen, with pears, on a small depiction of the family coat of arms in Sherborne Abbey.
1501 William Keyleway of Sherbourne was created a Knight Commander of the Bath upon the wedding of Arthur, Prince of Wales, to Catherine of Aragon.
A freeborn Yeoman was eligible to become a knight if he had the money. Indeed he was expected to purchase a knighthood upon acquiring sufficient wealth. and in some cases men were FINED if they became rich and did not get themselves knighted !

From The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1509-1558, ed. S.T. Bindoff, 1982
"...Keilway was one of the richer citizens of Salisbury, being assessed for the subsidy of 1524 on goods worth £150. On the conclusion of his mayoralty in 1516 he was paid £22 12s.8½d. for his pension and allowances, and in the following year he held the key of the ‘nether lock’ while the mayor, John Abarough, held that of the ‘over lock’, and on 6 Mar 1523, the day of his return to Parliament, he was also entrusted with the key to a door in the council house previously held by Richard Bartholomew. On 11 Sep 1523, Keilway and his colleague Abarough delivered a writ to the city ‘for the levying of £25 8s. for the burgesses’ expenses’ for 127 days at the rate of 2s. a day each. The last reference found to Keilway is as a member of the Twenty-Four on 5 Oct 1537. ..."
