Bassingbourne Gawdy (died 1590), of West Harling, Norfolk, was an English landowner, magistrate and Member of Parliament.[1]

He was the second son of Thomas Gawdy (d.1556) of Shotesham and Redenhall, Norfolk, by his father’s first wife, Anne, daughter and coheiress of John Bassingbourne of Woodhall, Hatfield, Hertfordshire.[2] He was educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, matriculating in 1545,[3] and trained in the law at the Inner Temple.

In 1557 Bassingbourne was investigated for selling wood at Middleton Hall.[4] On 26 September 1558 Gawdy married Anne Wotten.[5][6] Through Anne Wotten Bassingbourne obtained property in West Harling.[7]

He was appointed a Justice of the Peace for Suffolk from c. 1573 and for Norfolk from c. 1583, and was High Sheriff of Norfolk for 1578–79.[2] In 1584 he was elected a Member of Parliament (MP) for Eye, Suffolk.

Bassingbourne Gawdy was buried on 25 January 1589/90 at West Harling.[8][9]

He married twice. According to the Visitations, his first wife was Anne (1536[7]–1587[10]), the daughter of John Wootton of North Tuddenham, Norfolk,[7] and the widow both of Thomas Woodhouse of Hickling, Norfolk (son of Sir William Woodhouse),[11] and widow also of Henry Reppes of Mendham, Suffolk, the widower of Bess Holland.[12] The two were married on 26 September 1558 at Redenhall with Harleston and Wortwell.[13] She was buried at West Harling on 9 June 1587.[10] By Anne Wootton, Bassingbourne Gawdy had two sons:

His second wife was Margaret, daughter of Eustace Sulyard, and widow of Thomas Darcy of Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Essex. They married in December 1588: she died within two years, and was buried on 15 August 1590.[4]
