Sir Richard Colt Hoare Monument, Salisbury Cathedral
''Sir'' is a formal honorific address in English for men, derived from Sire in the High Middle Ages. Both are derived from the old French "" (Lord), brought to England by the French-speaking Normans, and which now exist in French only as part of "", with the equivalent "My Lord" in English. Traditionally, as governed by law and custom, Sir is used for men who are knights and belong to certain orders of chivalry, as well as later applied to baronets and other offices. As the female equivalent for knighthood is damehood, the ''suo jure'' female equivalent term is typically Dame. The wife of a knight or baronet tends to be addressed as Lady, although a few exceptions and interchanges of these uses exist. Additionally, since the late modern period, Sir has been used as a respectful way to address a man of superior social status or military rank. Equivalent terms of address for women are Madam (shortened to Ma'am), in addition to social honorifics such as Mrs, Ms, or Miss. Etym ...

John Gawen
John Gawen ( – died 1418), of Norrington, Wiltshire, was an English politician. He was the eldest son of John Gawen and Margaret Jooe. He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Wiltshire in 1394 and 1395. He built Norrington Manor in the late 1370s. He had a reputation as an outstanding lawyer and an efficient administrator who served for many years as justice of the peace. He became one of the leading figures in the county, due largely to his close association with John Waltham, Bishop of Salisbury, and later with John, 6th Baron Lovel. Both Waltham and Lovel were favourites of King Richard II, which no doubt contributed to Gawen's powerful local position.

He married twice, and his family remained at Norrington until the seventeenth century. The family were notable recusants, and were ulti ...
