  Marriage:  24 MAR 1647   Alconbury Cum Weston, Huntingdon, England

Alconbury would seem to be the seat of Elizabeth's family.

  Alconbury
 Acumesberie (xi cent.), Alchmundesbiri, Alcmundesberi (xii cent.), Alkemundesbiy, Acmundebiry, Aucmundebury, Aumondebiry Weston (xiii cent.), Alkunbiri, Alconbury-cum-Weston (xiv cent.), Wode or Wood Weston (xiv-xvii cent.).

Alconbury-cum-Weston was described as one 'vill' in 1316 and is still one ecclesiastical parish. More often referred to as Alconbury with Weston, or as two separate places Alconbury and Alconbury Weston, which remain separate for civil purposes. About half the whole area of the two civil parishes is arable and the rest pasture. The soil is clay and the principle crops are cereal and beans. The Alconbury Brook, a tributary of the River Ouse, runs from the north-west to the south-east, and then turning south-west forms the southern boundary. The land rises from the brook, where it is about 50 ft. above sea-level to about 164 ft. at Alconbury Hill and Common Farm on the north-east side. On the south-west, the rise is more gradual and, except at Weybridge Lodge where it reaches 163 ft, it is mostly low-lying.

The Ermine Street is on the eastern side of Alconbury parish and west of it is the old Great North Road which joined Ermine Street at Alconbury Hill. A modern Motorway (known as the A1(M)) now goes through and over the parish, bypassing it, and also over a tributary of the Alconbury Brook, and a little to the west is the site of Matcham's Gibbet.

The fairly large village of Alconbury lies just west of the modern A1(M) road, and is three-quarters of a mile from Ermine Street; the Alconbury Brook runs through the length of it. The church stands at the north end of the village with, a little to the south-east of it, Manor Farm. There is a long narrow Green in the centre of the village which is mentioned in 1327; the Alconbury Brook flows through the Green and is spanned by a 15th century bridge of four arches. The eastern arch and the south face of the second arch of the bridge have been rebuilt, and the cut-waters on the north side much repaired. Bequests towards the repair of this bridge were made in 1497 and at intervals to 1531. The housing in the village is a mix of building from the 17th and 18th centuries, but much modern housing has been built during the late 20th century.

Weybridge lies to the south of the parish and is the survival of the King's Forest of that name. However there was really only a farm of that name here which stood on a moated site, and was built in the latter part of the 16th century. It was in Weybridge Forest, close to his manor of Woolley, that John Tiptoft, Earl of Worcester, was captured when hiding from Henry VI in 1470.

Alconbury Weston is about three-quaters of a mile north-west of Alconbury village - see separate page.

There was an inclosure award made to Alconbury-cum-Weston in 1791.

The letters patent granted on 20 Sept 1278 were restored to the chancery to be cancelled and K Ric II granted the A and C a market on Tues within the bounds of the manor in lieu (CChR, 1341–1417, pp. 321–2).
