Death and Burial
Sir Thomas Bell the Elder died in 1566, his wife Lady Bell the following year. He had married Joan, Lady Bell, but the marriage produced no issue. They were both buried in St. Mary de Crypt Church, Gloucester, where their tombchest is situated in a tomb recess in the south chapel. Two kneeling figures from this tomb were moved to the crypt c. 1840, and have now been lost. Bell is memorialized in Gloucester by the Bell Inn near Southgate St., and by Bell Lane, Lady Bell by Ladybellegate St.
