Katharine c1354-1400 2. Elizabeth c1358 c1369 Sir Guy born c1335 was heir apparent to the title of 12th Earl of Warwick . He was knighted with his brother Thomas, in July 1355, when the King was with the fleet in the Downs on the way to an invasion of France. For his good service, he was granted an annual pension of £100 on 27 November 1355. He served as a military commander in the army of Edward III in France, where he was mortally injured in a freak hailstorm during the Siege of Chartres on 13 April. He died 3 weeks later at Vendosme on 28 April 1360. In his will dated 26th September 1359 Guy wished that Necton church should be appropriated to the said abbey at Shouldham , for the maintenance of his two daughters during their lives, and from and after their decease, that the house of Shouldham should be obliged to find a priest to celebrate divine service daily, for the souls of his father and mother, his own and wife's, his said 2 daughters, and of all the faithful departed. However his Will never took effect, and this church was never appropriated to the abbey; (At the time of his death, his eldest daughter was only 7 years, and the younger 1 year old so both not capable of receiving the veil at that time - They were also , by entail, excluded from their grandfather's inheritance. ) After her husband’s death Philippa also retired to the religious life at Shouldham and is shown wearing the ring and garb of a vowess.

Very small brass of an unknown man c1350-60 or earlier www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/2CV9JQ He has long, flowing hair, beard and moustache and wears a short, close-fitting, tight-sleeved cote-hardie buttoned down the front. Over the shoulder is a cape with a hood and under the cape are pendant streamers from the hood. Round the hips is a plain belt to which is fastened a pouch carrying a short sword / knife. The thighs are clothed in tight-fitting hose, but the lower part of the legs and feet are missing. His figure has been roughly scratched with the inscription: "Prayse God for ye soule of AD Dyxon uncle to Vycar Dyxon Aug. 18 1570" Such an inscription asking for prayers is an unusual one to be found during the reign of protestant Queen Elizabeth I. There was however a vicar named Thomas Dickson from 1558-87 whose uncle may have held onto the old catholic faith. - Church of St Thomas a Becket, Hampsthwaite Yorkshire

Brass to a priest, d1372
Sir Robert de Bures, d1302 or 1331, brass 'one of the oldest and one of the finest in England' (Pevsner Guide)
Engraved brass gravestone of Adam de Walsoken 1349 and 1st wife Margaret once had an elaborate screen flic.kr/p/YaWjAF 'Qui iacet Adam de Walsoken quondam Burgens Lenn qui obiit quinto die mensis iunii anno Dni millesimo tridentesimo quadragesimo nono Margareta uxor eius Cleves nata quorum anime per Dei misericordiam in pave requiescant Amen'; (Here lies Adam de Walsoken once mayor of Lynn, who died 5th day of the month of June Anno Dni 1349, & Margaret his wife a native of Cleves, on whose souls may God have mercy Amen) Another inscription at the feet of the figures reads "cum faex cum limus cum resuilissima sumus unde superbimus ad terram terra redimus' (From mud and sediment we came, we are happy to return to the earth) He is wearing a plain loose coat with sleeves and hood, she is in a beautifully embroidered gown. Both have dogs at their feet. They stand under ornamental arches, both at prayer.. Above are arcaded panels showing Christ holding their souls with 4 angels above each head. Around them are angels with musical instruments and the apostles all in canopied niches. Below are 2 panels with pastoral scenes, the gathering of apples, and a man riding with a sack of corn on his back towards a postmill / windmill, in the doorway of which stands a little man. A person which could be Adam is shown being carried in a litter over a stream following the man on horseback. At least 100 figures and foliage fill the spaces. Walsoken was a village 10 miles to the southwest of Lynn. Whether it was Adam or a descendant who emigrated to Lynn is unknown; the family name is not much in evidence in Lynn and the Geoffrey de Walsoken who held a tenement in Briggegate in the late 13c need not have been an ancestor, although Adam is found with property in the same street. If we may trust the evidence of the national taxation of 1332, Adam was the wealthiest man in Lynn at that time; owning a great number of properties in the town. The assessment of his goods – £20 – was the highest in the town (the average being £2.19s.1d). He was a merchant who dealt in wool and who served as collector of a royal tax in wool in 1338 and collector of national wool customs briefly in 1340. Like most other merchants he also dealt in other goods and in 1333/34 the community bought 2 barrels of sturgeon from him. His beginnings may have been more humble, if he was the cobbler who became a freeman of Lynn in 1302, although the valuation of his goods for purposes of a local tax in 1305 (£13.6s8d) indicates he was already fairly prosperous. In 1309 he was amerced by the leet court for using non-standard measures to sell goods. He lived in a house in Damgate, probably at the northwest corner; 5 adjacent shops were part of this property. He also held other property in the same street, in Finneslane (later Tower Street) with a quay on the Purfleet, on both corners of Wingate where it ran into Briggegate, shops on the Stone Bridge (where Briggegate crossed the Purfleet), and a concentration of property at the north end of Briggegate where it entered the Tuesday Market – including 11 shops and tenements in Cook Row, Jews Lane and Gresmarket. Possibly he also acquired a messuage in Norwich (St. Mary Coslany parish) in 1333. Adam served on the town council of jurats in 1325/26 and frequently as one of the ward constables between then and 1341 – Jewslane ward was where he lived. By that time he had already been elected as mayor of Lynn (1335/36) and was so again in 1343/44; during the 1340s he was one of the leading jurats. He would certainly have known Robert Braunch d1364 whose brass is now next to his www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/91Z27r , as they were both on the town council at the same time. The Black Death brought an end to his life at the beginning of the summer of 1349, survived by his second wife Margaret possibly the daughter of John de Merlowe (a former mayor). and daughter Joan. No sons are mentioned in his testament (although this is not unusual); a Walter Walsoken who was jurat in the 1370s might perhaps have been an underage son, although this is unlikely given Adam's advanced age at his death (at least 60). Thomas atte Bek of Cley-next-sea, another recipient of property in the testament and one of Adam's executors, may have been a son-in-law; he moved to Lynn in the 1350s. users.trytel.com/tristan/towns/m_title.html#walsoken - church of St Margaret of Antioch.
