Anne Hutten & Alice Corbett

Anne Hutten or Hutton, wife of Dr Leonard Hutten (died 1632), Canon of Christ Church Oxford, was buried in Westminster Abbey in May or June 1644. The register records she was buried in the "south aisle near the vestry door" but no marker remains for her. The vestry door at this period was in the south transept. She was a sister of the Reverend Dr George Hamden, rector of St Luke's Chelsea. She was married in Oxford in 1601. 

Daughter Alice was baptised in Oxford in 1602 and married Dr Richard Corbett, Dean of Christ Church and later bishop of Oxford and of Norwich (he is buried in that cathedral). Richard had attended Westminster School. The writer Aubrey described her as "a very beautiful woman and so was her mother". Their surviving children were Alice, who married Marmaduke Gresham, and Vincent. She died of smallpox and was buried in the Abbey (location unknown) on 12th April 1628.
