House in St. John Street, Clerkenwell
The Dalyson family had a presence in St. James, Clerkenwell from quite early in the sixteenth century. There is some tentative evidence that they had a house and property in the parish in that century, but by the late 1620s it is clearly documented that Sir Maximilian Dalyson had a home in St. John’s Street, Clerkenwell, where his son William wooed Elizabeth. Given the strong legal tradition in the family, Clerkenwell may have been a convenient extramural London location for access to the law courts in Holborn.
Certainly a number of Dalysons, from both the Lincolnshire and the Kent arms of the family, were buried in the St. James, Clerkenwell parish church in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. On the Kent side they include William Dalyson, the grandfather of Elizabeth’s husband, Sir Maximilian Dalison, his son, and Elizabeth’s own husband. The elder William was buried in Clerkenwell in 1585, though his widow chose to be buried at Halling, beside her second husband. Sir Maximilian Dalyson, father of Elizabeth’s husband, continued the tradition, requesting in his will “to be buried in the parish church of St. James Clerkenwell as neare the place where William Dallison (sic) Esquire my ffather, and Dame Paulina Dalison (sic) my first wife were buried.” When the time came Elizabeth buried her own husband in Clerkenwell, and was herself interred there twenty-three years later, despite the strong desire of her brother Sir Henry Oxenden that she might be buried with her birth family at Deane. On the Lincolnshire side they include Edward Dalyson, son of Sir Roger Dalyson of Laughton, Lincolnshire, who was buried in Clerkenwell in 1624.
