DescriptionHarlaxton Ss Mary and Peter - interior Tower coat of arms south.jpg
English: Harlaxton St Mary and St Peter's Church – Tower painted coat of arms funerary hatchment at the south. Hatchment of John Sherwin Gregory (1803–1869) of Harlaxton Manor. He was born John Sherwin Longden, the son of John Longden (d.1818) by his wife Charlotte Mettam. John Longden had inherited Bramcote Manor from his uncle who was from the Sherwin family. He built a new house called Bramcote Hills House. When his father died in 1818 John Sherwin Longden inherited the Bramcote property and changed his surname to Sherwin thus becoming John Sherwin Sherwin. In 1829 he married Catherine Holden, a daughter of Robert Holden of Nuthall Temple (a junior branch of Holden of Aston, Derbyshire), a large house in Nottinghamshire. The couple lived at Bramcote Hills House until John inherited Harlaxton Manor in 1860. The 1851 Census describes John as a "landed proprietor". When he inherited the property he changed his surname to Gregory thus becoming John Sherwin Gregory.
