Mary Honywood
Mary Honywood or Mary Waters (1527 – 1620) was a British co-heiress who visited the Marian martyrs. She lived to have 114 grandchildren and, in total, 367 descendants in her lifetime.
==Life==
Honywood was born in Lenham in Kent in 1527. She was a co-heiress of Robert Waters and she married Robert Honywood who was to take up residence at Marks Hall in Essex. Honywood was recorded because she had over 360 descendants whom she saw in her lifetime. She achieved this by having sixteen children herself who in turn had 114 grandchildren. In her lifetime they had 228 great grandchildren and they had nine great great grandchildren. Honywood died at the age of 93.
Honywood was known for her work in the prisons looking after the people arrested for their Protestant beliefs. She sustained the Marian martyrs and wrote letters to John Bradford who died for his beliefs in 1555. Honywood's compassion meant that she attended his execution to ensure that his death was quick.〔Jacqueline Eales, ‘Honywood , Mary (1527–1620)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2014 (accessed 1 Jan 2015 )〕
Honywood died in Marks Hall, Essex in 1620. There is a plaque in Markshall church which records her pious life. The plaque says she is buried there but she was buried with her husband in Lenham.〔(Mary Honywood ), Kent History〕 The Msarkshall church was demolished in 1933, but Mary's monument was moved to the church in Coggeshall.〔(The Honywoods ), Coggeshall Museum, retrieved 1 January 2014〕
