Lady Alice Tendring Howard

Alice was the only child of Sir William Tendring and Katherine Mylde, the widow of Thomas Clopton. Her older half brother was Sir William Clopton.

Alice was the second wife of the Sheriff of Essex, Sir John Howard and Lord of Wigenhall, the son of Sire Robert Howard and Margaret Scales. They were married before June 1397 at St Mary's.

They had two sons:
* Sir Robert Howard, Sheriff
* Henry Howard, Esq.

Alice and John made Tendring Hall the seat for the powerful Howard family. Alice was buried next to John at St Mary's, the church her husband commissioned its rebuilding after Alice's father's death. Their son, Sir John, would marry into the equally powerful Mowbray family.
