FOX FAMILY, STRADBROKE - NOTES
The FOX family, Stradbroke
The reason for my interest in this family stems from the fact that the first wife of Thomas GRENLING
of Stradbroke was Johanna FOX – marriage 21 Sep 1550. My ancestor was actually Thomas’s second
wife Margery GODBOLD of Dennington – marriage 28 Nov 1555. However, when I found the FOX
family tomb at Stradbroke I wondered what link there might be with Johanna. The following
information does not yet give me that link, but a very interesting story is emerging about this
Stradbroke family.
The FOX family tomb, Stradbroke Churchyard
In the transcription from the tomb (see below) reference is made to Gresham’s School (Holt,
Norfolk) which still exists. Part of the history from their web site is:
“Gresham’s was founded in 1555 by Sir John Gresham, who converted Holt’s Manor House into a Free
Grammar School as a result of Henry VIII’s suppression of the Monasteries. This regime had abolished the
only local school at St Mary’s Priory in Beeston Regis, leaving local children without access to education.
Sir John went on to become Lord Mayor of London and forged close ties with the Worshipful Company of
Fishmongers, leaving the School in their care upon his death; strong links with the City of London remain to
this day.
The School remained in the heart of Holt for 350 years, surviving the Great Fire of 1708 which destroyed
most of medieval Holt. The building was extensively enlarged and refurbished in Victorian times, and still
exists today renamed ‘Old School House’ and currently serving as home to our Pre-Prep School.”
Extract from “The Blackfriars Retable”
See:
http://blackfriarscambridge.chez.com/icons.html
“The Thornham panel, by contrast, certainly remained near its original East Anglian
home. The Howard stewards and bailiffs in the region were the Fox family, based at
Stradbroke, a few miles east of Thornham. The Foxes too were Catholics, and shared
with their patrons an interest in the artistic and religious history of the region.
So it was at the Fox farm that the Thornham Parva panel came to rest, perhaps as part
of the furniture of the family's chapel, reputedly located in the spacious attic. Continued
religious use of this sort would account for the "modernising" coat of grey paint, and the
fact that at some point the panel was sawn into three sections, perhaps to make its
central section a better fit for the smaller dimensions of a baroque domestic altar.
At any rate, it was from Stradbroke that it made its way at last to the Henniker
woodpile. Still pasted to the carved pillar to the left of the figure of St Dominic is a tiny
paper tag, labelled "Second day, Lot 171", a relic of the auction which dispersed the
contents of the house when the Fox family died out in 1778. The unfashionably "gothick"
panel, however, found no buyers. The Thornham Parva Retable was lying unregarded
among the unsold lots when Lord Henniker's ancestor, who had bought the farm, cleared
the stables.”
It is stated above that the FOX family were Catholics, but the tomb that we are
interested in is within a C of E burial ground at Stradbroke – but I suppose that preReformation it would have been Catholic.
One difficulty with the inscriptions is that there are no dates given** (very strange) and
we only have clues to follow such as in the inscriptions below. If you search Google Maps
for Stradbroke Church and go to Street View you can see the Fox Tomb with a flat
copper roof in the NW corner of the churchyard.

FOX FAMILY, STRADBROKE - NOTES
This gives a number of dates for the family and it can be seen that the family did not
“die out in 1778” as averred above. I suspect they fell on hard times due to persecution
as Catholics; note the conversions to C of E in 1778.
Also note that the Churchwardens of Stradbroke in 1761 were Thomas Card and John
Girling.
INSCRIPTIONS
South Side
In Perpetuam Rei Memoriam
Here together with his father Simon and his ancestors are placed (see note) Simon Fox a
man of most upright life to whose excellence of character while he was alive even the
very charm of his face bore witness, the latter as a young man travelled in very many
parts of the earth, advanced in age, he was famous for his ability in languages, and on
that account was much sought-after by people from outside with whom he frequently
had talks (see note) in Gresham’s School. (see note) The father with the son were so
long-lived that with their joint ages they made up the whole space of 194 years.
Notes:
The verb of which Simon Fox is the subject seems to have been attracted into the plural
by “together with his father ....”
The word “saepius” can mean “too often”; the reader may be meant to understand a
double meaning at Mr Fox’s expense.
I have assumed a full-stop after Greshamensi.

The family of Smallpeece was of considerable standing, and of good estate in this parish. They are
said to have been originally of Metfield, in Suffolk, but Blomefield records the monument of
Humphrey Smallpeice, who was buried at Hockering, in Norfolk, in 1539, and their name occurs yet
earlier among the 'Worthies' of Norwich. They were residing in Worlingham soon after the year
1600. Thomas Smallpeece, son of Thomas Smallpeece, Gent., and Frances, was baptized on the 28th
of February, 1682. The family merged into that of Fox, of Stradbrook, in the middle of the last
century, when Joseph Fox, Esq., of Stradbrook, and Mrs. Elizabeth Smallpeece, were married in
1756. Mr. Fox was the representative of an old Roman Catholic family, and related to the celebrated
Minister of that name. Their eight children were baptized at Stradbrook by a Romish priest from the
house of Mr. Havers, and received into the church at Worlingham, 16th November, 1778.

John’s eldest sister Elizabeth had already married - quite soon after her father’s death - to a knight,
Sir Standish Hartstonge - in 1648. And his younger brother Francis Jermy (born c1634 at Gunton)
also entered Cambridge (St John’s) quite soon - in 1650 - from where he at least did go on to study
the law - in London - since he was unlikely to have received much property from his father. (He did in
fact get the small estate at Tivetshall which his grandfather John had bought around 1625). He
became a Barrister and, once in a position to attract a wife of some means, married - in 1666 - to
Anne Wilsford, of a minor landed Essex family. He also bought some land at Gunton from his sisterin-law Anne (c1665) which, confusingly, went to his wife of same forename. His two other sisters,
Alice and Eleanor, had themselves also married by this date - Alice in about 1658 to Thomas
Smallpiece of Worlingham, Suffolk who, on his mother (Ann nee Duke)’s death, would inherit the
former Jermy estate at Metfield, Suffolk - and Eleanor in 1664 to Lemuel Schuldham, a Norfolk
squire. However, Francis the Barrister, then of the Middle Temple, soon died and was buried there in Nov 1668 - within two years of his marriage, leaving no issue. In his Will, he left modest sums of
£16 each to his sisters Alice Smallpiece and Eleanor Schuldham and their husbands, and £8 each to
his two brothers Anthony and Edward. To his wife Ann, he left his land at Tivetshall for her life and
then equally to his two brothers, and the same re his land in Gunton. In Codicils, he left a further £20
to Edward and some trees at Tivetshall to be sold to cover his recent debts. His elder brother John of
Gunton had already died
The next son of Francis Snr Anthony Jermy (born c1638) also went to Cambridge - in 1656 - by which
means he qualified as a clergyman in about 1661 and soon obtained the living at his own parish
church at Gunton (and at neighbouring Hanworth). This was about the same time that Rev Thomas
Jermy of the Suffolk branch began at Hethersett. It was possibly Anthony (but may have been his
older brothers or his mother) who helped arrange the marriage of his sister Alice to Thomas
Smallpiece of Metfield - possibly at nearby Worlingham, Suffolk. Certainly Anthony, once a
Reverend, became the trustee for Alice’s children - on her early death in 1673. Anthony had himself
married in 1667 - to Bridget Lowde (nee Mann), widow of a fellow churchman - Rev Roger Lowde by whom she had several children. [Note: On 13 Jan 1667/8, Bridget Jermy witnessed a Codicil to the
Will of Thomas Tite of Worlingham, Gent (for which her new husband Anthony was also a witness).
They may have been visting Elizabeth Howard (nee Jermy) in that Suffolk town. Thomas Tite held a
mortgage for money lent to Thomas Smallpiece against the latter’s land at Metfield. (The latter
Thomas was a gt grandson of Alice nee Jermy and gt gt grandson of Ann nee Duke who had married
Thomas Jermy of Metfield after losing her first husband, an earlier Thomas Smallpiece.) In his own
Will of 1764, this later Thomas Smallpiece - also ‘of Worlingham, Gent’ would direct his executor
Joseph Fox (his brother-in-law) to sell his estates at Metfield (and elswhere) - the excess of funds so

raised to go to Fox for his own benefit. This severed all Jermy-related connection with Metfield after 400 plus years.]

Since the capture of Melf, Lautrec has advanced, and on Thursday last encamped within 1½ miles of
Naples, where they have remained till now. Tomorrow they intend coming nearer the town, wherein
is the whole army of the enemy. Last Friday the enemy made a sortie with their main power, but
were met by 4,000 foot and 500 horse of our men, who forced them to retire, and chased them to
the gates of Naples. Took two pieces of their artillery, and killed two of their chief captains. Signor
Egmond, a kinsman of the Emperor, was taken prisoner. Yesterday the enemy assembled; and
Lautrec, being warned, sent the marquis of Saluce with 500 men-of-arms and 200 hackbushes to lie
in wait for their return, took from them 800 horse and slew 200 of their foot. They are worse
discomfited than when they fled at the town of Troye; so that we hope soon to see an end of the
enterprise. Lautrec requests that the King will not attempt war elsewhere until affairs are settled
here. From the camp of Naples, Sunday, 26 April. Signed.

Since war has been proclaimed by him and Francis against the Emperor, and the success of the
peace is still uncertain, ships should be prepared for the war, for various reasons, grounded on the
treaty of offence. Apart from that, it is necessary to have some ships at sea to conduct those
bringing corn and other goods to London, and to guard the passage for couriers and letters, and for
Mr. Fox and the Legate. Advises that orders should be given for the victualling for two months more
of those already at sea, by which time it will be seen whether they should be reinforced or revoked.

Strype's Mem. I., Pt. II. p. 50.4218. TYBALL'S CONFESSION.
Confession of John Tyball of Bumstede ad Turrim, before Cuthbert bishop of London, in his chapel at
London House, 28 April 1528; which he afterwards signed; viz., that seven or eight years ago he had
of one Holy John, certain books of the Four Evangelists, in English, which he burned the day Sir Ric.
Fox was attached. From a chapter of the Corinthians, which he does not now remember, he was led
to think the Sacrament of the Altar nothing but bread and wine. He had asserted, on Paul's
authority, that every priest and bishop ought to have a wife; that it was as good to confess to God
alone, or to a layman, as to a priest (which error he taught to Rob. Faire of Bumstede); that a layman
might minister the Sacraments; that pilgrimages were unnecessary; that men should not kneel to
images, or set candles before them. He had sometimes doubted the Pope's power to pardon, and
thought mitres and crosses, &c. might better be given to the poor. He thinks the souls of good men
(except saints like Peter and Paul) do not go to Heaven till the general resurrection, but remain in
some place of joy and pleasure unless helped to Heaven by good prayer; while the souls of sinners
remain in purgatory unless delivered by prayer. He had, however, held for a while, and disputed with
Sir Richard Fox, that there was no purgatory. He had held that fasting was unprofitable; that sea
water was as good as holy water (because when Christ first made the world and the water, &c., he
blessed them, which was enough). He had conversed on these matters with Old Father Hacker alias
Ebb, with Sir William Stryngar and Sir Arthur, parish priests of Bumstede, John Smyth of Bumstede,
and Sir Ric. Fox, curate there; with Mother Beckwythe and Wm. Beckwythe at Colchester, old
Christmas of Bockyng, and Wm. Pykas. Sir Ric. Fox had read to him from a book called The Wicket, in
Johnson's house at Boxstede. Thinks Johnson and his wife are of the same sect; also John and Wm.
Pykas, John Gyrling, and John Bradeley. Cannot tell about Thos. Mathwe's wife. He had refused to go
on pilgrimage to Ipswich with his godmother Alice Gardiner, telling her it would be better to give her
spare money to the poor. Had talked with Thos. Parker of the Gospels in English. Thos. Hilles, tailor,

John Chapman, John Wyggan of Wytham, Rob. Fayre, and John Smythe of Bumstede are of the same

About Michaelmas last was twelvemonth this respondent and Thos. Hilles came to London to buy a
New Testament of Friar Barons at the Freers Augustines; found Barons in his chamber, with a
merchant and two or three others; and, after a conversation about Sir Ric. Fox, curate of Bumstede,
to whom Barons promised to write, the latter delivered to them an English Testament, for which
they paid 3s. 2d., and he desired them to keep it close. Barons likened the Latin Testament to "a
cymbal tinkling and brass sounding." Half a year ago he delivered the New Testament to Frear
Gardyner, and never got it back.
Elene Tyball, his mother, and Alice, his wife, are guilty in all the foresaid articles, except his wife
about the Sacrament of the Altar.
Five years ago he assisted one Friar Meadow, a Grey Friar of Colchester, to whom he had confessed,
to abandon his religion; who has since gone to Amersham, and married a maiden of Colchester. He
has also conversed often with Edmund Tyball. Signed by John Tyball with a mark.

THE LETTERS OF ARTHUR HENRY HALLAM
Edited by Jack Kolb
Hallam is best remembered as the subject of what is, certainly, the most personal, and one of the most moving,
elegies in English literature, Alfred Lord Tennyson's In Memoriam—a poem that commemorates and celebrates
the estimable qualities of a gifted young man who died prematurely in 1833, at age twenty-two, while traveling
with his father in Europe, and whose personality and character, ironically enough, were to be persistently and
increasingly obscured and distorted in the century following his death by the peculiar circumstances in which
his literary "remains" were first published, and by the injudicious expurgations made by Hallam Tennyson in the
account of the Hallam-Tennyson relationship in the memoir he wrote of his father.
Addressed to H. Hallam Esq. / 67 Wimpole S. / London. P/M 9 May 1825
1. Henry Hallam (1777-1859) was the only son of John Hallam (1750?-1812), canon of Windsor and dean of Bristol, and
Eleanor Roberts. He attended Eton from 1790 to 1794, where he composed verse, some of which was published in Musae
Etonenses (1795), and matriculated at Christ Church in 1795 (B.A. 1799; M.A. 1832). Called to the bar in 1802, he practiced
for several years on the Oxford Circuit. In 1807 he married Julia Maria (1783-1840), daughter of Sir Abraham Elton
(17551842), fifth bart., of Clevedon Court, and Elizabeth Durbin (d. 1822). Upon the death of his father, Henry Hallam
received estates in Lincolnshire; for twenty years, he was a commissioner of stamps, a post with substantial remuneration
and light duties. His financial independence enabled him to abandon his legal practice and devote himself to history. He
contributed regularly to the Edinburgh Review from 1805 to 1809, and occasionally thereafter. His
Addressed to [W. Gladsto]ne Esq. / Seaforth / near Liverpool.
1. Thursday was traditionally a half-holiday: see Maxwell Lyte, p. 308.
2. Gladstone had left Eton on 18 July 1826 (before the summer break) because of his sister Anne's illness; on 22 July he
wrote to AHH, and to his French tutor Berthomier "to discontinue [his] pupilage" (D, 1:62).
3. See the conclusion of the 1 December 1783 speech by Edmund Burke (172997), on the East India Bill of Charles James
Fox (1749-1806), in which Burke quotes Silius Italicus Punica 8. 406-10: "How noble was his youthful promise . . ."

(alluding to Cicero). The 22 July 1826 debate on whether any nation had a right to interfere in the internal contentions of
another found all members neutral. According to custom, Farr became an honorary member, with the right to attend and
participate, though not to vote, in any subsequent debates.
4· Gladstone later noted that "under the influence of Milnes Gaskell, a few of us contracted the habit, besides our activity
in the Eton Debating Society, oí conducting private informal debates on the Pitt and Fox period, which was prohibited as
too recent for our susceptible minds by the school authorities" (Autob., p. 31). But private debates were not limited to
topics excluded from Society meetings: on 13 July 1826, Gladstone, AHH, Gaskell, and Pickering held private debates on
dueling and Elizabeth I's internal policy (D, 1:61). William Pitt (1759-1806) renewed the 1793 suspension of Habeas Corpus
and passed other coercive measures upon the outbreak of the Irish Rebellion in 1798.
5. Burke's break with Fox over the French Revolution had splintered the Whig opposition to Pitt's administration. AHH
quotes lines 16 and 30 from Samuel Roger's elegy on Fox, "Written in Westminster Abbey, October 10, 1806."
5. Fox's 14 June 1793 letter to his nephew, Henry Richard Vassall Fox (Memorials and Correspondence of Charles James Fox, ed. Lord
John Russell [1854], 3:40
4· Sir Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice (1780-1863), third marquis of Lansdowne, liberal politician, brought about the coalition of
Whigs and followers of Canning; he entered the cabinet without office in 1827 (resigned in 1828), and served as president
of the council intermittently from 1830 to 1852. A close friend of the Hallams, Lansdowne was godfather of Henry
Fitzmaurice Hallam. He married Louise Emma Fox-Strangways, daughter of the earl of Ilchester, in 1808.
What affecting accounts the newspapers gave of poor Canning's death! I have heard from Dr.
Holland that the story of his fearful shrieking was exaggerated: but in all cases of internal
inflammation, the pain is of the most horrible nature. The dying man was conscious of his danger,
sometime before: he said to Dr. Holland, "Í have struggled with this for a long time; but it has got the
better of me, at Last." I was at Westminster Abbey yesterday, and saw the preparations for laying him
3
in his grave, by the side of Pitt, and Fox. A worthy third! I suppose you are aware of the curious
striking coincidence of his fate, with that of Fox: both dying in the same house (though not, as the
papers said, in the same room); and both after but a few months' possession of supreme power. But
4
you are probably not aware, that Lady Holland, at a dinner given to the Premier some weeks before,
said, "Mr. Canning, are you superstitious?" Upon a negative answer being given, she said, "If you were,
you would not go to Chiswick." Whether Canning remembered this enough to alarm his nerves, after his
illness had begun, I do not know: but he certainly remembered it enough to mention it to the King, a
5
little before he went to the Duke of Devonshire's. But there is another melancholy coincidence,
which has not, that I know of, been noticed. He died, the same day of the year, and nearly the same
6
hour of that day, on which the late queen expired. Are these things chance? or are they not rather to
be considered, as proofs of an overruling moral government; as warnings to awaken the thought of
futurity within us, and to make us more tremblingly alive to events of sorrow? I take it the loss of
Canning is entirely irreparable. Since Lord Chatham, there has never been such a name on the
continent. We are lowered in the scale of nations by his death

Colonel Henry Norwood served as an officer in the Royal army during the Civil Wars, and being a refugee
in Holland in 1649, determined, with two friends, Major Francis Madison and Major Richard Fox, also
cavalier officers, to come to Virginia. On September 23d of the year named they embarked in the
“Virginia Merchant”, and arrived in the colony in November. After various adventures on the Eastern
Shore, Norwood and his friends crossed the bay, and at Captain Ralph Wormeley’s house found several
of his friends being most hospitably entertained. They were Sir Thomas Lunsford, Sir Henry Chichley,
Colonel (afterwards Sir) Philip Honeywood, and Colonel Mainwaring Hammond, all cavalier officers,
recently arrived from England.

[edit] Life
Stephen Fox was the son of William Fox, of Farley, in Wiltshire, a yeoman farmer. At the
age of fifteen he first obtained a post in the household of Algernon Percy, 10th Earl of
Northumberland; then he entered the service of Lord Percy, the earl's brother, and was
present with the royalist army at the Battle of Worcester as Lord Percy's deputy at the
ordnance board. Accompanying Charles II in his flight to the continent, he was appointed
manager of the royal household, on the recommendation of Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of
Clarendon. Clarendon described him as "a young man bred under the severe discipline of
Lord Percy ... very well qualified with languages, and all other parts of clerkship, honesty and
discretion".
