Thomas Marrow
Thomas Marrow (died 1561) was an English lawyer, landowner, and Member of Parliament for Warwickshire in 1554.[1]
Career[edit]
He was a son of Thomas Marrow (died 1538) of Wolston, Warwickshire, and Rudfyn at Kenilworth,[2] and was said to be a descendant of two mayors of London John Shadworth and William Marrow.[3] Like his father, he was trained and practiced as a lawyer in London. Marrow bought up lands in Warwickshire around Berkswell; Mary I of England granted Marrow the Barony of Barnstaple and the Manor of Birmingham in 1555 or 1557.[4]
A stained glass window at Knowle Parish Church commemorated his grandfather Thomas Marrow, and other windows had the arms of local landowners including Thomas Dabridgecourt and Edward Ferrers.[5]
Marriage and children[edit]
Thomas Marrow married Alice Young. Their ten children included:
- Samuel Marrow (died 1610), who married Margaret Lyttleton, a daughter of Sir John Lyttelton (1519–1590).[6] Their daughter Bridget Marrow was a keeper of the jewels of Anne of Denmark.[7]
