Summary
[edit]DescriptionMural Monument to Richard Berkeley (died 1661), St Michael's Church, Stoke Gifford.png |
Mural monument to Richard Berkeley (1579–1661), MP, St Michael's Church, Stoke Gifford, Gloucestershire. He married Mary Roe (1579-1615), a daughter of Robert Roe, Esq., of the City of London. He survived his wife by 46 years. Monument erected by their youngest and only surviving son Robert Berkeley. (Per inscription on top brass tablet). The bottom brass tablet is in memory of Henry Berkeley, Esq. (1559-1607) (father of the above Richard Berkeley (1579–1661)), son and heir of Sir Richard Berkeley (1531–1604) of Stoke Gifford. Henry Berkeley, Esq. (1559-1606/7) married Muriel Throckmorton, a daughter of Thomas Throgmorton, Esq. (1534-1615), of Coughton Court, Warwickshire, twice MP for Warwickshire (in 1558 and 1559) eldest son and heir of Sir Robert Throckmorton (d.1581) of Coughton by his wife Muriel Berkeley, a daughter of Thomas Berkeley, 5th Baron Berkeley (Source: History of Parliament biography of "THROCKMORTON, Thomas (1534-1615), of Coughton, Warws. and Weston Underwood, Bucks"[1]). Henry Berkeley, Esq. (1559-1607) had three surviving children: Richard Berkeley (1579–1661), of Stoke Gifford and Berkeley Plantation, MP; Elizabeth Berkeley; Margaret Berkeley (wife of John Tomlism of Bristol). (Per inscription on bottom brass tablet; also per www.tudorplace.com[2]). The brass tablets appear not to be in their original positions, or possibly are not original, as the lower one refers to an earlier member of the family than the top tablet. GenealogyThe Berkeley family of Stoke Gifford was descended from Maurice de Berkeley (d.1347), killed at the Siege of Calais, who had acquired the manor of Stoke Gifford in 1337, the second son of Maurice de Berkeley, 2nd Baron Berkeley, 7th feudal baron of Berkeley (1271–1326), Maurice the Magnanimous, of Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire.
