  === Life Sketch ===
  The principal house of St. Lo was seated in Somersetshire, where it gave its name to Newton-St. Lo. From how early a period they held it is not precisely known: but they "certainly had their habitation there in the reign of Richard I.
  
  And in the succeeding reign of King John, when such exorbitant sums of money were levied on the great men of the kingdom, to support the extravagance of that luxuriant monarch, we find the Sheriff accounting in the sum of one hundred pounds and two palfries, for the manors of Newton and Publow, the property of Roger de Sancto Laudo. This enormous demand, among other considerations, it is probable, induced this great man to take up arms with the rebellious barons against the King, whom, when his measures of reconciliation with his people failed, he is said to have some time detained a prisoner in one of the towers of his mansion here, which was embattled and otherwise fortified after the manner of a castle."Collinson's Somerset.
  
  He was followed by three generations of Sir Johns.
