Biography
At the beginning of the 1566 session of Parliament Gardiner was in the Fleet following a Chancery suit brought against him over a Suffolk manor. Possibly, therefore, he was the John Gardiner, gentleman, living in that county, whose lands were valued at £20 in the 1568 subsidy return. However this may be, on 9 Oct. 1566 the lord keeper complied with a request from the Commons that Gardiner be discharged until the end of the Parliament. He died 11 Nov. 1586. His inquisition post mortem mentions property in London and Stoke Newington.
