Memorial Notes:

Sir Henry was the brother (possibly illegitimate) of Sir Thomas Tresham, buried in St James Chapel following the battle of Tewksbury (1471). Apart from that very little is known of him except he was born in 1428 He is not recorded as being among the executed after the battle suggesting perhaps he died in the fighting. His body is recorded by the Abbey Chronicler as being placed in the Abbey Church for burial but not alongside his brother. No record can be found of Sir Henry’s heraldry.
