      • JANE SCROPE (c.1478-1521+)
        Jane Scrope was the daughter of Sir Richard Scrope (d.1485) and Eleanor Washbourne (d.1505/6). Her mother’s second husband was Sir John Wyndham of Felbrigg, Norfolk (x.1502). It is said that the poem "Philip Sparrow" by John Skelton (1505) was inspired by the story of Jane Scrope and the pet bird she trained while living with her widowed mother, Lady Wyndham, in the convent of St. Mary at Carrow, near Norwich. The poem is a mock dirge, Jane’s lament for her bird, killed by a cat. Jane went on to marry Thomas Brewes of Little Wenham, Suffolk (d.1514), by whom she had three children, Ursula (d.1598), a nun at Denny before the Dissolution, Sir John (December 15, 1512-February 13, 1585), and Giles of Denton, Norfolk (d.1558/9).
