Joyce Denny (1507–1560) was an English courtier.
She was a daughter of Edmund Denny, a Baron of the Exchequer, [1] and Mary Troutbeck. Princess Elizabeth was lodged with her brother the courtier Anthony Denny at Cheshunt, a former property of Thomas Wolsey. [2] A later country house on the site has been demolished. Her sister Martha Denny married Wymond Carew of Anthony, Cornwall, who was treasurer of the household for Catherine Parr, [3] and her elder sister Mary Denny married John Gates, a gentleman of the privy chamber of Edward VI. [4]
She married William Walsingham (died 1534) of Scadbury, Chislehurst or Foots Cray Place, [5] a son of Edmund Walsingham. [6] Their London home was in the parish of St Mary Aldermanbury. [7] Their children included:
It has been argued that she was a strong Protestant influence on the upbringing of Francis Walsingham, who was probably brought up in her second husband's household at Hunsdon. [12]
On the death of William Walsingham, Joyce, her brother-in-law Edmund Walsingham, and John Walsingham were his executors. Joyce Walsingham's silver plate passed into the custody of another executor, Henry White, an undersheriff of London. [13]
Joyce married, secondly, John Cary or Carey of Pleshey (died 1551), a Groom of the Privy Chamber to Henry VIII. [14] Henry VIII granted them the lands of Thremhall Priory in Essex in 1536, soon after their marriage. [15] Their children included:
She died in 1560. According to her will, she wished to be buried in the parish church of Aldermanbury, London, next to William Walsingham. [18] She bequeathed silver plate and a velvet bed tester embroidered with gold knots to Francis Walsingham. [19] An entry in the diary of Henry Machyn describes her burial on 6 May 1559/60 at St Clement Danes, London. [20]
