ROBERT FFYSKE - Born about 1521, a wheelwright of Fressingfield, andSt James', South Elmham. Married Mrs Sibilla Barbor (nee Gold), a widow. Sibilla was in great danger in the time of the religious persecution 1553-58, as was her sister Isabella Phillips, who was confined in Norwich Castle for her religion and escaped death only by the power of her brothers Paul and Peter Gold, who were men of some influence in the country. (It would appear theat the residents of the area around Laxfield were particularly vociferous in their support for the Protestant reformation; in an account by Robert's great-grandson Rev. John ffiske, his grandparents and great-grandparents are described as "eminently zealous in the true religion".) Robert fled for religion's sake in the days of Queen Mary, but was once more residing at St James in 1567-8 and later at the time of his death. His first wife having died, he had remarried to Joan ?, who was herself buried at St. James, South Elmham in August, 1587. His will is dated April 10, 1590, it was proved in July 1602.
