Berkshire / Re: Sir Alexander Zinzan (d. ?1607)

A small amount of information about the previous parish church and the Vanlore and Zinzano families can be found in a guide book to The Parish of Tilehurst published in 1834 and written by J. R. B.  A copy of the text is available through Google books, using the reference: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=c8wHAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA7&lpg=PA7&dq=zinzano+tilehurst&source=bl&ots=Xcq1juzL95&sig=xv3FzzaQijhueHXyqKSEZdfNTIw&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false

I believe that Sir Sigismund also lived at Molesey in Surrey for a time, and was at one time appointed Master of Royal Sports to the Court of James I?

You may like to know that Alexander Zinzan, also known as Henry Zinzano, is buried at St. Michael's Church in Tilehurst (Reading).  He was married to Jacoba Vanlore (eldest daughter of Sir Peter Vanlore) and died on 18 Nov 1676.  By chance  his tombstone was unearthed this last weekend during the current refurbishment project, so I have attached a picture for your use.
