Biography

Elizabeth Coningsby (1542-1569), daughter and coheir of Christopher Coningsby of Wallington, Norfolk (1517-September 10, 1547) and Anne Woodhouse (1520-1563). He was killed at Musselburgh. On June 2, 1563, Elizabeth married Francis Gawdy of Shouldham, Norfolk (1528-December 15, 1605), a judge. They had one child, Elizabeth (1569-1591). Gawdy appears to have been a greedy and difficult man. He cheated his wife out of her interest in Eston Hall, Wallington and also acquired other Coningsby houses, Wallington Hall and Fincham Hall, then depopulated the area around Wallington and converted what had been a church into either a kennel or a hay store. According to the English antiquary, Sir Henry Spelman (c.1562-1641), "having this manor in right of his wife, he induced her to acknowledge the fine thereof, upon which she became a distracted woman and continued so until the day of her death and was to him for many years a perpetual affliction."
