Susannah Horenbout
Susanna(h) Hornebolt or Horenbout (1503–1545) was the first known female artist in England.[1]
She was an illuminator, and daughter of Gerard Hornebolt. She was the sister of Lucas Horenbout. Around 1525 she was married to John Parker, a courtier in the court of Henry VIII, who was Keeper of the Palace of Westminster and Yeoman of the King's Crossbows, and later Yeoman of the King's Robes. Two years after Parker's death in 1537, she married John Gilman, who was, or became, Serjeant of the King's Woodyard.

The only work that survives that is thought to have been done by Susanna Horenbout is the brass plaque found at All Saint's Church in Fulham, London, which commemorates her mother, Margaret van Sanders, who died in 1529.…more
