"Lady Charleton". The original Grey Friars Church at Shrewsbury where Hawise and her husband were buried is now only ruins. It was built on poor and flooding land just outside the town walls, and incorporated a part of the town wall into the church. After K. Henry VIII closed the Friary Church in 1540 it was sold, but because of its fragile structure and location it did not survive long. From http://www.british-history.ac.uk/
Re:A painted glass window in commemoration of Sir John Charleton and his family: "There is no positive evidence to support the tradition that the fine Jesse window commemorating John de Charlton (I), now in St. Mary's church, was originally in the grey friars' church. The fact that John de Charlton (I) and his wife Hawise were buried in their church proves nothing: if it was as spacious as many Franciscan churches of comparable importance it could have accommodated such a window, but elaborate painted-glass windows were discouraged by the statutes of the order. Surviving stone and timber-framed buildings show that there was further substantial rebuilding of the principal offices in the early 16th century."
