Mallory was the son of William Mallory and his wife Dorothy Bellingham, daughter of Sir James Bellingham of Levens, in Westmorland.[1] John resided at Studley Royal, home to the family since 1452, which was added to their Hutton Conyers estate.[2]
In November 1640, Mallory was elected together with his father as Member of Parliament for Ripon in the Long Parliament.[3] He was knighted by King Charles I in December 1641[4] and was disabled from sitting in Parliament in on 16 January 1642.[5] By August 1642 Mallory had command of a regiment of infantry in the King's army. He was governor of Skipton Castle. He later compounded for the delinquency of himself and his father.[6]
Mallory died aged 45, possibly of a contagious disease, as he was buried the next day in Ripon Cathedral in the family chapel.[1]
Mallory married Mary Moseley, daughter of John Moseley Lord Mayor of York.[1]
