Note: Complete Peerage, 3 (1913): 551-552 (sub Cromwell) has a good account of the life history of Sir Ralph de Cromwell, 1st Lord Cromwell. Regarding his marriage, Complete Peerage says the following:
"He married before 20 June 1366, Maud, sister and heir of William (who died 18 December 1360), and daughter of John Bernake, of Tattershall aforesaid, by Joan, daughter and coheiress of John Marmion, Lord Marmion.
He acquired with his wife the estate of Tattershall, county of Lincoln, livery being granted to them 18 March 1366/7, it having been in the king's hands owing to the death of Sir John de Kirketon ...
She died 10 April 1419."

Gravesite Details The church is remarkable for its lack of memorials. Those to the Cromwell family have long since become worn and illegible; the alabaster slabs to Lord Cromwell’s parents and grandparents are hidden beneath the carpet of the nave and chancel.
