• Notes

  Anne Waldgrave (or Waldegrave) was also of an old Catholic family, andit may be said here in passing that the reformed religion of LutherandCalvin made slow progress in England at this time among the country gentry.Most of the converts came from the shopkeepers, artizans, yeomen andservants. The gentry was finally whipped into line by penal statutes ofQueenElizabeth which imposed heavy fines for not attending the services in the parish churches. The Waldegraves were among the leading families in Suffolk,and have a long and honorable record. Sir William Waldegrave, thegrandfather of Anne, was knighted in 1501 at the marriage of Prince Arthur(elderbrother of Henry VIII) with Catherine of Aragon. In 1513 he was nominated asoneof the most discreet persons for assessing and collecting the subsidy. He founded a chantry at Bures. By his will dated 26 Jan. 1524-5 hedirectedthat his body be buried "in the parish church of St. Mary of Buer," inthetomb he had caused to be made under the arch between the high Altar andthechapel of Jesu, and that he be buried within 24 hours after his decease. Hedied30 Jan. 1527-8.
