Jane Aske was born in England around 1565. She was the daughter of Robert Aske, Citizen of London and goldsmith. She became the wife of Rev. Richard Lightfoot on February 7, 1593 in London at St. Bartholomew the Less. Jane and Richard had three sons and five daughters. Richard died in 1625. Jane wrote her will on December 20, 1649 and it was recorded with the Church of England. A copy of the will is in the files of M. Shaver. Her husband was the long time rector of St. Mary the Virgin church in Stoke Bruerne, so she could be buried in the churchyard there, or possibly in Richard's tomb, with him.
Stoke Bruene, Northhamptonshire is located in the middle of England 118 miles north of London. The Church of St. Mary the Virgin on the hill above the village was begun by the Normans in 1066 and was completed with battlements in the 15th Century when the richly carved Cross was set above the east wall of the chancel. The Nave Arcades with four circular Clerestory Windows above are 14th Century. Beautifully lettered gravestones are all over the church and include the "Lightfoots". On the wall is a brass portrait of Richard Lightfoot with a pointed beard and wearing a ruff as he kneels at a prayer desk.
