Frances Hobart

[1] She became enthusiastically religious and committed under the guidance of John Carter of St Peter Mancroft in Norwich and her husband soon followed her lead.

[3] Sir John's health obliged them to return home and Collinges accepted their invitation to join them.

Her only daughter, Phillipa, married her husband's nephew and his heir, Sir John Hobart, 3rd Baronet.

She would hear about three sermons each day and she also bought a hundred pounds worth of books on religious matters for reference.

[1] In 1664 Sir Joseph Paine, sometime mayor of Norwich, led a group who tried to disrupt services in her house and she successfully protested.

She left her home to Lady Katherine Courten and this is presumed so that services could continue after her death.
