Brief Life History of Margaret Bernard on FamilySearch.org (Website) Domein: www.FamilySearch.org |
|
The manor of Isleham was acquired in the reign of King John (1199-1216) by the Bernard family. Their coat of arms was a play on their name – a black bear with a gold muzzle and collar on a silver ground. (argent a bear rampant sable, muzzled and collared or). It appears in many places in the church, often quartered with those of the Peyton family who succeeded them in around 1430. The Bernard family are recorded as benefactors to the church over some 250 years and it was s they who financed the building of nave, aisles, a priest’s chamber, transepts and tower, to complete the church. In around 1430, Margaret Bernard, daughter and heiress of Sir John Bernard and the last of the Bernard line married Sir Thomas Peyton, bringing as part of her dowry, the Isleham estates. Isleham became the principal Peyton residence. The Peyton family coat of arms appears in many places in the church – on a black shield a gold cross with scalloped edge with a silver star in the top left quarter. (Sable a cross engrailed or, in the first quarter a mullet argent). Thomas Peyton was born at Dry Drayton on February 14th 1416 and served twice (1443 & 1453) as High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire. The church in Isleham has no surviving medieval stained glass but there are likenesses of Thomas and his first wife in the church at Long Melford, Suffolk, another Peyton manor. When Margaret Bernard, first wife of Sir Thomas Peyton, died he married another Margaret, widow of Thomas Garney but – more importantly for the Peyton family fortunes – the daughter and heiress of Sir Hugh Francis of Gifford Hall, Suffolk. This second Margaret also died before him, on 12th December, 1458. Set into the north wall of the sanctuary is the table tomb of Thomas Peyton, who died in 1484. It is topped with a fine brass of Thomas himself, in plate armour, with his two wives, Margaret Bernard and Margaret Francis. Like many brasses in this and other churches this one has been much defaced over the years but a framed full size ‘rubbing-cum-reconstruction’ is on display at the west end of the nave. Both wives, however, appear alongside their husband. One wears a very ornate gown, the other a plainer affair - but both show off the magnificent Peyton jewelled necklace ! http://www.isleham-village.co.uk/ChurchTale.html |
