Joan Chaworth

Joan Chaworth (died 29 August 1507) was the heiress of the manor of Alfreton.

[4] In 1465 Joan's father, Sir William, was described as 'a sickly man', unable even to ride,[4] and died within two years.

In the chancel of the parish church of Alfreton a memorial tablet inlaid with brass plates bears the engraved effigies of Joan and her husband, John Ormond.

[7][8] The arms of Chaworth of Alfreton were Barry of ten, argent and gules, three martlets sable.

[9] Graves Park, Sheffield, part of the Norton estate, was included in the lands of the former manor of Alfreton.
