Nicholas Stallinge or Stallenge (d. 1605) was an English courtier.
He was a gentleman usher to Queen Elizabeth and King James.
His lands were at Kenn and Yatton in Somerset.
In 1586 he visited Mary, Queen of Scots at Chartley and Fotheringhay and reported on her custody by Amias Paulet. Paulet was grateful for his help but attributed improvements in his allowance to Francis Walsingham. [1]
He died on 10 January 1605 and was buried at Kenn.
He married Florence Stallinge (d. 1620), widow of Christopher Kenn of Kenn (d. 1593), and daughter of John Stallinge, on 14 September 1593. She was said to have been a gentlewoman and a servant to Kenn before her marriage. [2] They had no children. Florence had two daughters by her marriage to Christopher Kenn, who became Nicholas Stallinge's wards:
Florence Stallinge erected a monument in the Church of St John the Evangelist at Kenn to Christopher Kenn and her two daughters. [10] She also had a portrait of herself and her two daughters made which was kept at Elmore Court. [11]
Florence Stallinge rescued and fed her tenants and neighbours in the upper floors of Kenn Court during the great floods of 1607. Horses were stabled in the great hall, standing in floodwater. [12]
