Sir John Eyre (1580–1639), initially of Great Chalfield Manor, Wiltshire and later of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, Middlesex was an English courtier, ambassador and Member of Parliament. [1]He was the eldest son of Sir William Eyre of Great Chalfield, educated at Lincoln's Inn and knighted in 1605. In 1610 he attempted to murder Sir Edward Herbert, whom he suspected of having an affair with his wife, but escaped serious punishment. He was appointed a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber by 1612, serving to at least 1632. He was the member of Parliament for Cricklade in 1614, Calne in 1626, and Chippenham in 1628. He succeeded his father to Great Chalfield in 1629 but sold it two years later to Sir Richard Gurney, Lord Mayor of London, living afterwards in St. Giles-in-the-Fields, London. He was ambassador to Turkey in 1619–1621. He died in financially straightened circumstances in 1639, leaving just 5 shillings to his wife. He had married by 1610, Dorothy, the daughter of Edward Bulstrode of Hedgerley, Buckinghamshire and had a son who predeceased him.
