Mon Inscripts notes for Ann Bray
On her and her husband’s tomb in Cobham church, Kent:
“She was fortunate, her father and husband being Lords, the one Bray the other Cobham. Anne was virtuous and a most favourable mother; Anne made offerings to the poor with a generous hand. Nothing was better, nothing more happy than this woman till at length she was more beloved than her husband. The last year of Mary’s reign eclipsed him with death, and she met a similar fate in the month of November. Thus the two whom life always kept united the same tomb keeps together in death.”
