Joyce Lewis
Joyce Lewis or Jocasta Lewis (died 1557) was an English Protestant martyr.
==Life==
She was only daughter of Thomas and Anne Curzon of Croxall in Staffordshire. Her maternal grandfather was Sir John Aston of Tixall. She first married Sir George Appleby of Appleby in Leicestershire and they had two sons. Her husband died in 1547 at the Battle of Pinkie.
She then married Thomas Lewis of Mancetter on 10 September 1547. She was a Catholic, but she began to question her faith, according to the partisan martyrologist John Foxe,〔Richings, R (1860) ''The Mancetter martyrs: the suffering and martyrdom of Mr Robert Glover and Mrs Joice () Lewis'' (London: pp xiii/xiv)〕 after the martyrdom of Lawrence Saunders on 8 February 1555. Her move to being a Protestant was led by the brother of another martyr, Robert Glover, who died the same year.
Her previous devotion to Catholicism was replaced by "irreverent behaviour in church" which came to the notice of Ralph Baines, the Bishop of Lichfield. Lewis spent a year in jail before she was taken, with the comfort of the priest Augustine Bernher, to be burnt at Lichfield on 18 December 1557.
