  • Notes 

    • Elizabeth was the eldest daughter of Sir John Eliot (the great Patriot) and wife of Colonel Nathaniel Fiennes (second son of William Fiennes, 1st Viscount Saye and Sele, and later Speaker of Cromwell’s Parliament.

      Brumby Hall in North Lincolnshire was bought and rebuilt for Nathaniel and Elizabeth (by his father) at the time of their marriage, and their arms can still be seen on the outside of the house today.

      In her husband's 1669 will, instructions were given to his executors to take £10 and place a memorial in St. Lawrence Church for his "first and dearly beloved wife".
