Research Notes
Burial of Philip le Despenser
He and his wife Joan de Cobham were both buried at Newhouse Abbey, near Brocklesby in Lincolnshire. Also known as Newsham Abbey. The Abbey was founded in 1143 and was closed by Henry VIII in 1536. At present the Abbey is in ruins but parts of it, including the precinct boundary, are visible as earthworks. The whole precinct of Newhouse Abbey is definable and has survived in a relatively undisturbed state. There are no above-ground ruins.
Per an e-mail received by Alton Rogers on March 3, 2010 from Chris Keyworth in Lincolnshire England ((XXXXX@XXXX.XXX)) regarding Newhouse Abbey ruins: "the site is all wooded and you see a great deal - not alot was known about the place until I started looking into it years ago - the (listed following) are most certainly 'in situ' (tombs 'on the premises' or 'in place') within the abbey church as it hasn't been excavated properly. (buried here: Philip Despenser d. 1349 and wife Joan de Cobham; Elizabeth, wife of Philip Despenser, d. 1401; Philip Wentworth, d. 1464 and Henry Wentworth, d. 1501.) ....I have common rights on the land and live only 2 km away."
And from an e-mail Alton Rogers received on March 4, 2010 from Rod Collins in Lincolnshire (www.rodcollins.com) describing a visit by Rod to the site: Much of the area is shrouded by dense woodland and undergrowth but a great pleasure to be at such an ancient and historic site.
