Stowmarket, Suffolk
In his History of Stowmarket, Mr, Hollingsworth calls it the “Abbot’s Tomb” and this is still its usual appellation. I would, however, venture to point out that the matrices or moulds on the flat top of the tomb are the figures of a lady surrounded by her thirteen children. Enough remains to show that she wore the peculiar style of head-dress in vogue at the end of the fifteenth century, and her daughters are similarly attired. Above her head were three heraldic shields; on her right (S. side of tomb) were the figures of five sons, and on her left (N. side of tomb) and at her feet were those of eight daughters. At a first glance, you see only seven daughters, but there is an eighth figure, smaller that the others, placed just above and behind the daughter at the top of the row (N.W. corner). The style of architecture of this tomb and its arch is about 1480 – 90.
The first Tyrell who lived at Gipping Hall was William, third son of Sir John Tyrell, Treasurer of the Household to Henry VI (reigned 1422-61). This William married Margaret, daughter of the Robert Darcy of Maldon, Essex, who died in 1449. William and Margaret Tyrell had thirteen children, five sons (Sir James, Sir Thomas, Edward, John, and John) and eight daughters (Alianor, Anne, Margaret, Dorothy, Alice, Margery, Elizabeth and Mary). This list exactly corresponds with the figures on the tomb, and it seems highly probable that the “Abbot” is really Margaret (nee Darcy), wife of the first Tyrell of Gipping, with her thirteen children all around her. This monument is rather over 400 years old.
Manuscripts in the British Museum show that this tomb has long been unidentified. For instance, at fo. 199d at Add. Ms. 19106, the following extract is copied from an old manuscript relating to Suffolk families: “There is between the Isle that belongs to the family of Tirrell and Sir John Poley’s Pewe, a very faire anciente tombe, but I cannot learne from any man for whom it was.”
