According to The Parochial and Family History of the Deanery of Trigg Minor [citation details below], he was knight of the shire for Cornwall, 1332. But Complete Peerage says that "none of [Thomas l'Arcedekne's] descendants were ever sum. to Parl. in respect of this Barony." CP, and The Wallop Family, both note that this John l'Arcedekne was summoned to a Council 1341/2; presumably this is one of those councils not held to have been a true Parliament.

"Sir John l'Arcedekne, of Ruan Lanihorne, aged 25 and more at his father's death, had livery of his lands 15 Sep. 1331. He was sum. to a Council 25 Feb. (1341/2) 16 Edw. III.
