Biography

See text from Monumental Brass Society[1]. Text from MBS:

"Edmund Hunt was recorded in a Chancery Court document in the last couple of years of his life as constable of Hindolveston and late servant to Sir John Robsart but little is otherwise known of him. The children recorded in the heraldic visitations of Norfolk were Edmund, later of Horningtoft, who married Lucy, daughter of ... Howett of Weston, Norfolk, Nicholas, Thomas, Richard, Geoffrey, Henry, William, John, Margaret, who married Francis Beaumont, Mary, who married William Wagstafe, Elizabeth, who married William Whyte, and Cicely, who married Robert Lawes. Their mother Margaret was recorded as the daughter of John Potter of Beeston, Norfolk. I presume that the unnamed Hunt who out-hunted the rest was Sir Thomas Hunt, of Camberwell, Surrey, who bought the manor of Foulsham, south of Hindolveston in 1582 and also bought a number of other manors in the area. His arms are differenced from those on the brass by a mullet for a third son. He died in 1616 and left 53s 4d a year forever to the poor of 'Hindleston'. He was master of the Fishmongers' Company of London in 1592 and sheriff of Surrey and Sussex in 1609-10. His charitable bequests extended far beyond his native village and included £20 a year from his land in Southwark to the poor of the Fishmongers' Company on condition that the company built a hospital, which it duly did. He is commemorated by an alabaster monument and a brass inscription at Foulsham. "

Inscription

Entered a couple heare doth ly, that hatefull death did kill
Whiche lyvinge loved as man and wife and bent to God there will
Whose names to tell thus weare they called, that deathe hathe reste of life
Edmon Hunt the Gentilman, and Margret hight his wife
Children these had fourtene in all Daughters four, and onnes tene
Two Infants dyed, thre marchants weare, Lawiers foure, and one devine
These Huntes huntinge abrode the chase one Hunt oute hunted the rest
Who made this stone in memory, how God his huntinge blest
Who hopes by fayth heaven for his haven, in Christ that he shall finde
Where welcom once no farewell is, suche welcome God us sende
