His second wife, Elizabeth, a beautiful and wealthy widow and the mother of Sir James Bourcher whose daughter, also called Elizabeth and Sebright’s god daughter, eventually became the wife of Oliver Cromwell. ... Between 1590 and 1593 he acquired twenty acres of land in Bethnal Green ... It was this land that became the endowment for the Sebright’s Foundation."
