Notes for Thomas Walsingham and Constance Dryland

"For a few years, during the minority of James Walsingham (circa 1466-77) another name was powerful here. His mother, Constance, after the death of Sir Thomas Walsingham, married as her second husband John Green, who, in her right, occupied Scadbury and kept his shrievalty of the county there in 1476. His tenure, however, was short. In the November of that year, the family burial place, in the north aisle here was opened to receive the remains of his wife, who survived her first husband Sir Thomas Walsingham, less than ten years. She was a daughter of James Dryland, of Davington, and over her grave here was placed a monumental brass (not now extant) which bore her effigy." [1]
