She died in 1557 and was buried at Vroxton. John Bustard had seventeen children by his wife Elizabeth, the eldest son being Anthony, who succeeded him, and whose initials are are supposed to be those in the Manor House. He married Jane, daughter of John Ikrne, of Saresdon, Oxfordshire, who was buried at Adderbury in 1568 and commemorated with Anthony's parents on the monument.
