Daniel Disney

Daniel Disney (1656–1734) of Swinderby, Lincolnshire, was an 18th-century English non-conformist landowner.

Life

Disney married 1674 Catherine Fynes (died 1690), younger daughter and co-heiress of Henry Fynes (1611–1670), whose father Sir Henry Fynes rebuilt Kirkstead Abbey as a country house in the 17th century. Thus the Disneys inherited the lordship of the manor of Kirkstead, Lincolnshire.[1]

The father of Revd John Disney,[2] great-grandfather of Revd Dr John Disney and great-great-grandfather of John Disney, High Sheriff of Dorset and former Recorder of Bridport,[3] he founded a dissenting chapel and in 1720 he set up a trust to provide for continued dissenting worship in the manor after his death.

gollark: Actually, I'm a seed AI created to maximize the EXTREMELY complex function of "gollariosity".
gollark: Precisely as planned.
gollark: Don't fight for justice; fight for maximization of paperclips.
gollark: As I said, my computer science class lacks any women despite them presumably having not been treated as incompetent at CS at some point. Unless it was some years ago, since CS is mandatory here when younger for bad reasons.
