Emma Pownder

Emma Pownder (d. 1564) was a contemporary of Alice Tooley, and was also married to a shipping merchant, Thomas. For many years after his death, she was allowed to continue his business as a freewoman of Ipswich. A brass of Emma and Thomas and their children can be seen at the Waterfront in Saint Mary-at-the-Quay Church (limited public access).
