Individual Details

Anne, married after the death of George Waldegrave, as his 2nd wife, Sir Thomas Jermyn of Rushbrook, Suffolk. They had two sons.

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 undergarment. (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.
