Research Notes:

This Elizabeth we believe to have been the daughter and heir of Sir John Grove, whose mutilated effigy in St. Peter's, Sandwich, was preserved from complete destruction... Upon the tomb to which it pertained were six shields displayed, 1, Grove; three leaves in bend, on a canton, three crescents, as on the shield of the effigy; 2. Septvans; 3. St. Ledger; 4. Hilpurton; 5. Isaac; and 6, Sandwich;—important materials for the pedigrees of all those families. Elizabeth survived her husband, who was dead in 1372, and was herself living in 1378, second of Richard II., when William Wyltshire gives a bond to Elizabeth, "quæ fuit uxor Johannis de Gosehale Militis" for £20.—(Harleian Charters, No. 80, I. 69.) In the same collection, and amongst the evidences of Combewell Abbey, preserved in the College of Arms, are numerous acquittances from "Elizabeth, who was the wife of John de Goshall, knight," or from "Elizabeth, Lady of Goshall," for different sums from various persons farming the manor of Elmes, or Nelmes, in Ash, next Sandwich.. ²
