    Born 2 Aug 1507, first son of Sir George Waldegrave of Smallbridge by Anne, dau. of Robert Drury of Hawstead; kinsman of Sir Edward Waldegrave who married Frances Neville. m. settlement 7 Jul 1528, Juliana, dau. of Sir John Raynsford of Bradfield, Essex, sister of Sir John Rainsford. Suc. family 8 Jul 1528. Kntd. 25 May 1533. J.p.

    William Waldegrave was born and brought up at his maternal grandfather's house in Suffolk. The deaths within the space of 14 months of his paternal grandfather Sir William Waldegrave and his own father left him heir to one of the handsomest patrimonies at the age of a few weeks short of 21. The marriage contracted for him by his father while dying strengthened his connexions in the region and added to his property. From thenceforward he combined local administration with attendance at court and military service. Knighted at the coronation of Anne Boleyn he headed the commission to take the oath of succession in Suffolk. In the autumn of 1536 he was one of a group of men who Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, believed would quell any rising in Suffolk. Two years later he approached Cromwell about help in obtaining an unspecified reward from Henry VIII, but nothing came of this, perhaps because later in the same year he told the minister about his troubled conscience over enforcing the injunctions for divine service to be said in English. Nothwithstanding his 'great heartburning' he remained on the bench and in 1539 he was ordered to attend the reception of Anne of Cleves.

    In 1542 Waldegrave served under the Duke of Norfolk's command against the Scots and two years later he captained 60 of his own men in the French campaign. His election to the Parliament of 1545 reflected this recent military experience as much as his own standing in Suffolk and may have been promoted by his uncle Sir William Drury as sheriff. Of his part in the Parliament nothing has come to light but during the prorogation he was present at the reception of the Admiral of France at Greenwich. Although he was not to be re-elected, early in Jan 1553 the Council considered him for nomination with Sir William Drury as knights for Suffolk in the forthcoming Parliament but in the event nominated Sir Henry Bedingfield with Drury. Following Edward VI's death in the summer Cecil listed Waldegrave among potential supporters of Lady Jane Grey but on being summoned to Kenninghall by Mary on 8 Jul he joined the princess in her successful bid for the throne. Later he heard the indictments in Suffolk against Jane's adherents.

    While on a visit to Calais late in 1554, perhaps in connexion with the arrival of Cardinal Pole, Waldegrave fell sick. By his will made on 8 Nov he asked to be buried in the graveyard of St. Mary's church there, provided for his wife and children and remembered his mother and other kin. He died on the following 12 Dec, and the will was proved by the executors in Oct 1555 a week before they renounced the administration in favour of the widow. A monument to his memory was placed in Bures church near the tombs of his ancestors and an inscription in the church of St. Mary, Sudbury.

    George Waldegrave, Esq. was born circa 1483 probably at Smallbridge, Bures St. Mary, Suffolk, England, the son of Sir William Waldegrave of Smallbridge and his wife, Margery Wentworth.[1]

    He married Anne Drury, daughter of Sir Robert Drury, Speaker of the House of Commons, and Anne Calthorpe, circa 1502(?). They had <5> 4 sons(unless one predeceased his father):
    ?Sir William
    ?George
    ?Edward, Esq
    ?Richard,
    and two daughters:
    ?Anne, wife of Henry Bures, Esq., and of Sir Clement Higham
    ?Phyllis, wife of Thomas Higham, Esq.[2]

    George's father, Sir William, died on 30 June 1527, and George, his mother, and his brother William served as the executors of his will.[1] Half of Sir William's personal goods were bequeathed to his wife with the other half to be divided among Sir William's three legitimate sons. George's mother was the primary heir of most of Sir William's property with George holding reversion rights to those properties. In his own right, George was bequeathed the manors of Smallbridge, Taynes, and Lylsey in Suffolk, all of the lands held by his father in Mohkislligh in that same county as well as the manors of Walgrave, Tylwell and Slypton in Northamptonshire.[3] George also received the manors of Levenya Strattons, Overhall also known as Roper's Manor, and Netherhall, all located in Suffolk, but not mentioned in his father's will.[4]
    George Waldegrave became a very wealthy man after his father's will was proved in London on 6 March 1527/1528. However, he enjoyed his wealth only briefly for he died on 8 July 1528.[1] He had prepared a will two days before in which he asked to be buried Church of Bures St. Mary's on the Isle of Jesu beside the grave of his father. He bequeathed all of his lands to his wife, Ann, with reversion rights to his four sons in the order of their birth; all of his sons were under the age of 21 years at the time of the will's preparation.[5]
    George was buried at Bures St. Mary, Suffolk. His estate was probated on 25 August 1528.

    ?Anne Drury
    ?
    ?Upon George Waldegrave's death, Anne, the executrix of his will, was left with the manors of Smallbridge, Silvesters, Overhall, and Freps, during the minority of her eldest son, William. T. M. Felgate's, "Suffolk Heraldic Brasses," notes her memorial is unusual because it contains an identical effigy of herself for each husband. He writes, "She wears a French Bonnet with short lappets falling behind, and her high puffed shoulders reflect the haute-pieces on the shoulders of her husbands. Frills encircle her neck and wrists, and a bow-knotted sash girdles her waist, below which the gown divides to show a plain undergarmet. (In one pose) She kneels at a prayer desk with her two daughters (by George Waldegrave) behind her. They are similarly attired, except they have the more simple close-fitting bonnet." Both husbands wear almost identical armour. George Waldegrave's hair is of medium length and he is clean shaven, popular during the Tudor period of his time. Sir Jermyn is shown with the short hair, a moustache and beard of his Elizabethan time. Each appear with their own sons kneeling behind them, all in Elizabethan costumes. Her husbands were not buried with her unless they were removed from their original tombs and brought to Depden. The inscription reads: "Here under lyeth buried the boddy of the Lady Anne Jermyn, widdowe, daughter of Syr Robert Drewry, of Halsted in the Countie of Suff. Knight & Anne his wife, whiche Anne was first married to Geroge Waldegve, of Smallbridge in the saide Countie, Esquier, and after married to Syr Thomas Jermyn, of Rushebrooke, in the said Countie, Knight, and died the viii daye of June, in the yere of oure Lorde God a Thowsand five hundred seventy two." Note it does not say the husbands share her tomb. Children of George Waldegrave and Anne Drury are:

    Robert Drury, born before 1456 at Hawstead, Suffolk, was the eldest of four sons of Roger Drury (d. 1496) of Hawstead, Suffolk, by his second wife Felice Denston, daughter and heiress of William Denston of Besthorpe, Norfolk.[1]

    Career

    With Sir Robert Drury began for this family a long connection with the courts of the Tudor sovereigns, and a succession of capable and eminent men whose careers are part of English history throughout the 16th century. In 1473 he was admitted to Lincoln's Inn, where he became a prominent figure. However, according to Hyde 'there is no evidence, as was once thought,[2] that he was educated at Gonville Hall, Cambridge'.[3]

    Drury was named in many commissions in the county of Suffolk from 1486 onwards. Drury procured from Pope Alexander VI a licence for the chapel in his house at Hawstead, dated 8 July 1501 in the tenth year of that pontificate. The original is now in the museum at Bury. Another early reference to him is an indenture 15 December 1490 by which Robert Geddying, son and heir of John Geddyng, agreed with Robert Drury, esquire, for the erection of houses at Lackford, Suffolk, Roger and William Drury being co-feoffees.

    He was elected Knight of the Shire (MP) for Suffolk in 1491, 1495 and 1510, acting as Speaker of the House in 1495.[4]
    Drury was knighted by King Henry VII on 17 June 1497, after the battle of Blackheath,[5] and was present at the funeral of the young Prince Arthur in 1511, where, amongst the list of mourners, he is included as one of the knights to bear the canopy. He was an executor of the will of John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford, who died in 1513.

    Between June 1510 and February 1513 inclusive he was engaged with various colleagues in the attempt "to pacify the Scottish border by peaceful methods and to obtain redress for wrongs committed." Previously, on August 29, 1509, he had been a witness to the renewal of the "Treaty of Perpetual Peace" between England and Scotland, signed shortly after Henry VIII's accession to the throne.

    In 1520 he sailed with other knights to France to attend the famous meeting between Henry VIII and Francis I of France now known as the Field of the Cloth of Gold.

    Two splendid books once owned by Sir Robert Drury have survived. One, a fine Latin MS of the Vulgate, written by an English scribe early in the 13th century, is now in the library of Christ's College, Cambridge. Some blank leaves at the end have been used to record the marriages and progeny of his children.

    The first group of entries was made at the end of 1527; subsequent entries carry on the records of the growth of the family until 1566. The other book is the finest and most famous of all Chaucer MSS, the Ellesmere manuscript of The Canterbury Tales now in the Huntington Library. At the top of a preliminary fly-leaf is written "Robertus Drury, miles", and below a list of his children: "William Drury, miles, Robertus Drury, miles, Domina [Anne] Jarmin, Domina [Bridget] Jarningham, and Domina [Ursula] Allington."

    On 1 May 1531 Drury made his last will, requesting burial in the chancel of St. Mary's Church, Bury St. Edmunds beside his first wife, Anne Calthorpe. He died 2 March 1535. Drury and Anne Calthorpe are buried under a stone monument in St. Mary's Church; a wooden palisade bears the inscription 'Such as ye be, sometime were we, such as we are, such shall ye be. Miserere nostri.'[7][3]

    Drury House, the mansion built by Robert Drury, eventually gave its name to London's Drury Lane and to the well-known Drury Lane Theatre.

    Marriages and issue
    Drury married firstly, by 1494, Anne Calthorpe, daughter of Sir William Calthorpe of Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, by whom he had two sons and four daughters:[1][3]

At the time of her marriage to Sir Robert Drury, she is said to have been the widow of two husbands: Lord Edward Grey (d. before 1517), eldest son and heir of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset, and grandson of King Edward IV's wife, Elizabeth Woodville; and Henry Barley (d. 12 November 1529) of Albury, Hertfordshire. In his will Drury refers to her as 'my Lady Grey'. There were no issue of Drury's second marriage. After Drury's death, Anne (n?e Jerningham) married Sir Edmund Walsingham.[9][10][11][12]
