- Sir Henry Goodere (1534–1595) was an English nobleman, the son of of Polesworth Hall. The earliest records that use the Goodere name are in Poynton, Cheshire, England. The Gooderes intermarried with the noble Warren family and could claim the title 'Lord of Poynton'. The Goodere name is spelled 'Goodyear' today. The Goodyears live in Britain, Canada and the U.S. One Goodere served as London's mayor. He went to meet Mary, Queen of Scots in 1568 at Workington when she first came into England from Scotland. He gave her a cipher code to write to her friends. He was held in the Tower of London and interviewed by his family relative Lord Cecil 'the Keeper of the Great Seal' on suspicion of treason in 1571, then released and subsequently knighted in 1588. He became the Queen's chief bodyguard. He was High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1570 and High Steward of the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield from 1582 until his death. He married Frances Lowther. Her father Richard Lowther was also questioned about the cipher. Their daughter was Frances Goodere. She married Henry Goodere (died 1627). He was the founder of "the Polesworth Circle", a private organization that influenced most of Great Britain through Shakespeare's literary works, Inigo Jones' architectural work and Michael Drayton's poetry. He was friends with John Donne. His society helped finance the 'Virginia adventure'. (en)
