STANTON ALL SAINTS MANOR. In 1305 the Abbot of St. Edmund granted this manor to Henry de Stanton for life in recompense for Newhall in Pakenham, but it soon returned to the monastery, for we find the manor again vested in the Abbot in 1316, and with the monastery it continued until the dissolution of the religious houses, when of course it passed to the Crown. In 1539 it was granted by the Crown to Sir Thos. Jermyn of Rushbrook. Particulars for this grant will be found in the Record Office.3 Sir Thomas Jermyn married first a daughter of Thomas Spring, of Lavenham, and 2ndly Anne daughter of Sir Robert Drruy, and died 8 Oct. 1552. An account of his funeral is given in the Diary of Henry Machyn, a citizen of London, 1550-1563, thus : " The xxj. day of October was the funeralle of a gentyll knyght, Ser Thomas Jarmyn, the best housekeper in the Contey of Suff oke, with ys standard and ys penone of armes, cot-armur, target, and sword, and skochyons ; and he kept a godly chapel of syngyng men, for the contrary have a gret loss of ys deth, as any contrey in England." He had been High Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk in 1541 and the goodly chapel of singing men were at Rushbrook Hall near Bury St. Edmunds where the Jermyn family had been seated from a very early period. He was the lineal ancestor of Henry Jermyn created Lord Jermyn of Edmundsbury by King Charles I. and Earl of St. Albans by Charles II.
