Biography
[cromwellsir2.ged]

Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex, Lord High Chamberlain of England and
Henry VIII''s chief minister responsible for the dissolution of the
monasteries bought Launde for the sum of £1500. He never lived to take up
residence at Launde, being executed for treason when he lost the Royal
favour. His son, Gregory, grandfather to Lord Edward Cromwell, completed
the building of the Elizabethan Manor house on the site of the Augustan
Priory, and lived there with his wife, Elizabeth, sister of the short
lived Queen, Jane Seymour, the mother of Edward VI. There is in the
Chapel of Launde a fine Renaissance memorial to Gregory Cromwell.
