The tomb of Sir Robert Drury, died 1536, and his first wife, Anne, daughter of Sir William Calthorpe, Knight.

Ann Calthorpe had married Sir Robert Drury (died 2nd March 1536, at Hawstead and buried in a monumental and magnificent tomb in St.Mary’s Church, Bury St.Edmunds, Suffolk). Sir Robert was Lord of the Manors of Thurston and Hawstead, Suffolk, a barrister of Lincoln’s Inn, Privy Councillor and Speaker of the House of Commons. Sir Robert was present at the funeral of the young Prince Henry in 1511 and is noted as one of the knights who bore the canopy. He was buried in a monumental and magnificent tomb in St.Mary’s Church, Bury St.Edmunds, Suffolk.

Between 1510 and 1513 he was engaged with various colleagues in the attempt to pacify the Scottish border by peaceful methods. He was a witness to the marriage of Princess Mary on 9th October 1514 and was knighted in 1516. He was present at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520, and has a long list of other important appointments to his credit, too numerous to mention here. The site of his family’s London home is still called Drury Lane. Sir Robert Drury and Anne Calthorpe had two sons:

Sir Robert, of Hedgerley, Bucks, who married Elizabeth Brudenell with issue, one of whom was Sir William Drury, Marshall of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and later Lord Justice of Ireland; and Sir William (died 1589), Lord of Hawstead Manor, who married Elizabeth Stafford (died 1578) with issue, amongst whose descendants can be found the families of Wray, Irby of Boston, Clifford, Ayscoghe of Skelsey through to the Hanbury-Tracys and so to the present Lord Sudeley.

Sir Robert and Ann Drury also had four girls: Anne, who married (1) Sir George Waldegrave (died 1528) knight, of Smallbridge, and (2) Sir Thomas Jermyn (died 1552) knight, of Rushbrooke; Bridget, who married Sir John Jernegan (died 1556) knight, of Somerleyton; Elizabeth, who married Sir Philip Boteler; and finally, Ursula (died 1523).
