It is two and a half years since I explored Ann Askew's family but I finally got to Stallingborough Church on a recent Heritage Open Day to see the monuments to her brother Francis (top) and Francis' son Edward (bottom). I spotted that Francis is commemotrated as Edward's father in particular, so I presume that it was Edward who arranged thgis group of memorialisation. I remain aware of just how interrrelated the gentry families in the north of Lincolnshire were - Francis acquired South Kelsey through his marriage to a Hansard step-sister, his mothers-in-law included a Tyrwhitt and a St Paul, and both Edward and his sister Elizabeth married Grantham siblings
