- She was interred in the church of Ashwellthorpe under the following inscription:
Jane Knyvet resteth here, the only Heir by Right
of the Lord berners, that Sir John Bourchier height,
Twenty years and three a Wyddo's Life she ledd,
Alwayes keeping Howse, where Rich and Poor were fedd;
Gentill, most quyet, void of Debate and Stryf;
Ever doying Good. Lo! thus she ledd her life;
Even to the Grave, where Erth on Erth doth ly,
On whos Soul, God grant of his abundant Mercy.
The xviii of February, MDLXI.
