A sumptuous tomb at the Church of St. Simon and St. Jude, Norwich, England, was erected by Thomas Pettus, Armiger,
to his father, Sir John Pettus (1550 - 1614) and to his brother, Sir Augustine Pettus (1582 - 1613).
The Pettys family lived in Elm Hill, adjacent to the Church, from 1536 to 1591, when they moved to a country estate
which they had purchased in RACKHEATH. Three members of the family were Mayors in Norwich; another was a
distinguished Royalist, scientist and Fellow of the Royal Society; and another became Cup Bearer to the later Stuart
sovereigns.
