According to "Annals of St. Mary Overy" written by William Taylor in 1833, the wife of John Gower was buried at St. Mary Overy's "under a monument much smaller than his own" but "all traces of that monument, have long since disappeared."
At the time John Gower's will was proved, October 24, 1408, Agnes was still living.
