Notes |
- Organist to Cromwell. He has an entry in the DNB and also an entry in Groves Dictionary of Music. Quite a lot is known about him. Grove says that he was born early in the 17th century, possibly in York. The date probably means that he is not a child of Walter, but there could be one or two missing generations. He was buried in London 17 Dec 1688 (in St Margarets, Westminster - the small church next to the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey). He was listed as a member of the choir of York Minster on 24 July 1618 and is said to have been a pupil of Orlando Gibbons. He seems to have served Charles I, but later he was employed as state organist and private musician to Oliver Cromwell from 1654 to 1658. Almost uniquely, he retained his place after the Restoration, being appointed as a viol player and in charge of musical instruments at the court of Charles II. He was a member of the Chapel Royal from 1661 to 1666 and in 1663 was elected deputy marshal of the City of London and was given prestigious quarters in Whitehall. He taught John Blow and Purcell was his apprentice and successor. Grove has a copy of his portrait which is hanging in the Faculty of Music, Oxford. The DNB says that his nephew, Peter Hingston, born 1721, became teacher and organist at Ipswich, but the dates do not seem to fit since Peter would have been at least 100 years younger than John.
Neither biography mentions a wife or children, so the idea that he was the father of the James Hingston shown below rests on insecure foundations
