Elizabeth BROOKE, Lady Brooke ca.1602-83
Biographical Note
Daughter of Thomas Colepeper, wife of Sir Robert Brooke (d.1646) of Cockfield Hall, Suffolk, where she remained during her long widowhood.
Books
Although we have no direct documentation of her library, the biography in her funeral sermon refers not only to the depth and breadth of her reading, but also to a body of devotional writings she left behind. She evidently had a closet well-stocked with books.
