Summary

Description
English: St Mary's church in Redgrave - monumental brass and ledger stone of Ann Bures, a daughter of Henry Bures (d.1528) (whose brass survives in Acton Church in Suffolk), and wife of Edmund Butts, a son of Sir William Butts, doctor to King Henry VIII. Two of her sisters also married sons of Sir William Butts. (Source: https://www.mbs-brasses.co.uk/index-of-brasses/ann-butts) As the verse below her effigy explains, she was a wife for a far shorter period than she was a widow:

The weaker sexes strongest precedent
Lyes here belowe, seaven fayre yeares she spent
In wedlock sage; and since that merry age
Sixty-one yeares she lived a widdowe sage;
Hvmble as great, as full of grace as elde,
A second Anna had she but beheld
Christ in his flesh, whom now she glorious sees,
Belowe that first in time not in degrees.

As the ledger line inscription states, her only child, Anne Butts, married Sir Nicholas Bacon (ancestor of the Bacon baronets of Redgrave) the eldest son of Sir Nicholas Bacon (1510-1579), Lord Keeper of the Great Seal to Queen Elizabeth I. Arms:

  • Sinister/right: Ermine, on a chief indented azure two lions rampant or (Bures) (Burke, 1884, p.145)
