John Lowin

John Lowin (baptized 9 December 1576 - buried 16th/18 March 1659) was an English actor born in London, the son of a carpenter. His name frequently occurs in Henslowes Diary in 1602, when he was playing at the Rose Theatre in the Earl of Worcesters company, and he was at the Blackfriars in 1603, playing with Shakespeare, Burbage and the others, and by 1608 owned a share and a half of the twenty shares in that theatre. In about 1623 he was one of the managers. He lived in Southwark, and Edward Alleyn speaks of his dining with him in 1620. Lowin in his latter days kept an inn (called the Three Pigeons) at Brentford, where he died.
