Grave Rubbing of Robert Alefounder Gent (d. 1639) East Bergholdt Church, Suffolk England Rubbing by Barbara E. Greenstein c 1968 Black Heelball Wax on Linen in Ebony Lacquer Frame Robert Alefounder (ca. 1589-1639; Dedham pedigree) is buried in the nave of East Bergholt church, Suffolk. Set into the floor marking the spot are two brasses, one photograph on left depicting the gentleman himself and the other just out of range of the top of the photograph showing an incorrect coat of arms. Paterson (1923) suggests that these survived the attentions of Cromwell's men only because the deceased had died relatively recently and was still well-remembered and respected in the village. This certainly seems reasonable, other brasses in the church having been removed, presumably at this time.
