Edmund lived in the moated manor house of Beeches set in 257 acres and lying near the River Crouch , once owned by Edward de la Beche, hence the name. ( A "fourth church aisle" (since demolished) was "of Beeches Manor who kept it in repair" )
The Coggeshalls (the chief family of the area) had lived there before them, the Tyrrells acquiring it probably through the marriage of Sir William Tyrell 5th son of Sir John Tyrell & Alice de Coggeshall c1361, great grandparents of Edmund
An important figure in the county, he was MP for Maldon in the 1st, 4th & 5th years of Queen Mary.
Edmund is described as a "bigoted member of the old faith" and gave abundant service to the Marian regime; After helping to defeat Wyatt’s rebels he waged war on heresy in his own shire with a brutal efficiency which made his reputation in the eyes of the Queen and Council but blackened it for posterity. As a local magistrate he was especially zealous, together with Sir John Mordaunt, in apprehending "heretics"of the new faith, and passing them to Bishop Bonner for examination. In 1555 he was personally in attendance at the burning of several adherents including John Simson at Rochford & John Ardsley at Rayleigh
In 1556 he was instrumental in the prosecution and burning of Tyms and Drake, clergymen of Hockley and Thundersley. also in the same year the burning at Smithfield of Katherine Hall, Elizabeth Thackwell & Joan Horms. Foxe tells of his inhuman conduct torturing Rose Munt who was burnt with her parents at Colchester in 1557 and pamphlets circulated show his ill treatment of Rose Allins www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw224922/The-b...
As he traveled round the area, he interrogated and searched anyone he suspected reporting back his findings books.google.co.uk/books?id=7KNjAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA329&...
Despite all this, he successfully survived into the reign of protestant Queen Elizabeth, which brought him no heavier penalty than the cost of his general pardon and the loss of his seat on the Essex bench He perhaps owed this to the patronage & friendship of Sir William Parr, Marquess of Northampton, (brother of Queen Katherine Parr) and Sir William Petre d1572 flic.kr/p/b4Nb6F of Ingatestone Essex, whose 1st wife Gertrude was the daughter of John Tyrrell .
It was as a ‘beloved servant’ that between 1539 and 1543 that Edmund & his wife received an annuity of £6 13s.4d. from Parr, probably in return for his assistance in looking after Parr's extensive lands in Essex received from the crown and through his marriage.
He died at Whitstable in Kent, where it is likely he had property.
His heir was his daughter Thomasine's son Thomas Tyrrell . Daughter Susan received 1,000 marks.
The monument was originally on the east wall of the south aisle, but it was removed after the aisle's foundations were found to be unsafe in 1940 , and is now on the north wall of the chancel.
It has been commented that the ending prayer of his inscription "God graunte him a blessed resurrection" was "very needful" !!
