Legacy
Fleetwood acquired by his marriage in 1664 to Mary, daughter of Sir John Coke and widow of Sir Edward Hartopp, an estate in Stoke Newington, then a village north of London; Fleetwood House, next to Abney House on Church Street was named after him. It served as a meeting place for Dissenters, and from 1824 housed the Newington Academy for Girls an innovative Quaker school.
