Thomas Marsham (MP)

Thomas Marsham (by 1522 – 15 September 1557), of Norwich, Norfolk was an English politician.

Family edit

He was the son of John Marsham (d. 13 May 1525) of Norwich by Elizabeth (d.1559[1]), daughter of Hamond Claxton of Chediston, Suffolk.[2] Thomas Marsham had four brothers and eight sisters.[1] Through his sister Mary Marsham he was the great-uncle of Temperance Flowerdew and John Pory.

Another sister, Elizabeth, married William Layer, Mayor of Norwich, and was the mother of Christopher Layer, merchant, burgess of Norwich, and briefly a Member of Parliament.

His sister Margaret Marsham was buried by her father in 1563.[1]

Thomas Marsham married a woman named Elizabeth, and they seem to have had no children.

He left Elizabeth his wife, and Ralph his brother, each a moiety of the manor of Little Melton.[3] His brother Ralph Marsham was the great-grandfather of Sir John Marsham, 1st Baronet,[4] the father of Sir Robert Marsham, 4th Baronet of Bushey Hall, Hertfordshire and the grandfather of Robert Marsham, 1st Baron Romney.

Career edit

He was a grocer and a Member of Parliament (MP) for Norwich in March 1553, as well as mayor of the city in 1554–55.[2]

St. John's Maddermarket edit

Thomas Marsham was buried in St. John's Maddermarket. Both his father, his mother and his sister Margaret rest in the same church.[3]
