MALYN OXENBRIDGE (1475-October 3, 1544)

Malyn Oxenbridge was the daughter of Sir Robert Oxenbridge of Ford Place in Brede, Sussex and Anne Lyvelode. She married Sir Richard Carew of Beddington (c.1470-May 23, 1520). Their children were Margaret (b.c.1510), Elizabeth (d. February 4, 1532), Ann, Sir Nicholas (x. March 3, 1539), and Mary. Malyn's inheritance from her husband included lands he had recently purchased in the county of Guisnes. After her son's execution for treason, Lady Carew continued to live in Beddington, possibly in the building later called the Old Post Office. Later in 1539, her grandson, Charles Carew (x.1540), rector of Beddington and the illegitimate son of Sir Nicholas, conspired to rob Malyn of her money, plate, and jewelry. A letter exists from Malyn to Lord Cromwell, thanking him for his kindness and asking for mercy for the offenders. In it she writes "if I had my sight I would have waited on you to thank you," from which I conclude she was blind. Some records give her name as Maude. Some records also say she had another husband before Richard Carew. Two names are suggested but both are unlikely. William Cheyney was actually married to Malyn's niece, Malyn Fincham. Arthur Darcy of Huntingdon will also be found in some records, but a marriage to him is based on Malyn's reference to a "son" by that name. In fact, she is referring to her granddaughter's husband. She was buried with her husband at St. Mary's, Beddington, Surrey.
