ELIZABETH THROCKMORTON (d. January 13, 1547)1412-July 13, 1472) and Margaret Olney. She became a nun in the Order of Minoresses and by 1512 was abbess of the convent of Denny in Cambridge, ruling over twenty-five nuns. After the abbey was dissolved, she returned to Coughton, now the property of her nephew, George Throckmorton (d. August 6, 1552), bringing with her two or three of the nuns and a dole-gate. They lived there in much the same fashion as they had in the nunnery. Elizabeth and two of her nuns are buried at Coughton. The dole-gate remains at Coughton Court.
