Summary

| Description | Brass of Humphrey Brewster (1526-1593) of w:Wrentham Hall, Suffolk. Other branches of the family were represented by Robert Brewster, of Mutford, Suffolk, who held lands in Mutford and in Henstead, prior to the reign of Henry VI., which lands were afterwards in the possession of William Brewster, of Henstead, and Robert Brewster, of Rushmere, suffolk. (Alfred Suckling, 'Mutford', in The History and Antiquities of the County of Suffolk: Volume 1 (Ipswich, 1846), pp. 269-279. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/no-series/suffolk-history-antiquities/vol1/pp269-279). Wikipedia: The Tudor brick mansion of Wrentham Hall (now lost) is said to have been built around 1550 by Humphrey Brewster, Esq. (c. 1527-1593), the elder son of Robert Brewster (of a well-established Suffolk family) and his wife, daughter and heiress of Sir Christopher Edmonds of w:Cressing Temple, Essex. (B. Burke, Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, 2 Parts (Harrison, London 1862), I, p. 148). He was the son of Robert Brewster by his wife Mary Elizabeth Edmondes, daughter (and heiress) of Christopher Edmondes. He married Alice Foster, a daughter of William Foster of Copdock Hall, Suffolk. Arms: Sable, a chevron ermine between three estoiles argent (Brewster) (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.121, with variants) quartering Or, on a cross engrailed sable five cinquefoils of the first (Edmondes) (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.315), impaling Argent, three buglehorns stringed sable (Foster of Copdock, Suffolk) (Burke, p.370). Text from https://www.copdockhall.com/history/ : The barn at Copdock Hall dates back to the second half of the 16th Century and is thought to have been built by Ipswich merchant William Spenser, probably to collect tithes (payments in kind from members of the parish). However, no doubt by its grandeur, it was built to impress visitors and neighbours, standing proud on one of the area’s highest points. It was once described by Nikolaus Pevsner, a noted architectural scholar, as ‘spectacular’. William Spenser’s daughter married into the Foster family and the house remained in the family for three generations until it was lost by Henry Foster, who was a Catholic recusant. The estate was taken over by the Bedingfield family, making it part of the vast Walsingham estate in Norfolk. |
