Biography

c1452 Sir Henry Frowyk, of South Mymms married Joan, the daughter of Sir Thomas Lewknor, who held the chief manor of South Mymms, though his main estates lay in Sussex.^[1][2]

Her husband Henry took a prominent role in county affairs, and was member of Parliament for Middlesex in 1453 and 1463, but his financial difficulties saw a gradual decline of the Frowyk family. ^[3]

Johanna who outlived Henry and apparently left no will, survived until at least June 1491 when she appointed a new chaplain to Frowyk’s chantry at South Mymms. ^[3]
