Sir John Carew (also John de Carew ) († 1324 ) was an English knight .

John Carew was a son of Sir Nicholas Carew and his wife Amicia Peverell. The future Lord Seal Keeper Nicholas Carew was his younger brother. After his father's death in 1311, John Carew inherited his extensive estates, including Carew Castle in Pembrokeshire , Moulsford in Berkshire and Idrone in Carlow and other estates in Ireland . His ancestor Odo von Carew had received the Irish possessions from his brother Raymond FitzGerald at the end of the 12th century . As Lord of Carew , John was a vassal of the Earl of Pembroke .

Carew was married twice. First he married Eleanor Mohun, the heiress of Mohun's Ottery and Stoke Fleming in Devon and other estates in South West England. With her he had a son:

Nicholas Carew († 1324)

In his second marriage, Carew had married 1st Baron Talbot after the death of his first wife Joan Talbot, a daughter of Gilbert Talbot . With her he had at least one son:

John Carew († 1362)

He was probably buried in the church of Luppitt near Honiton . Since his first son died shortly after him, his younger son John eventually became his heir.
