Personal life [edit]
She was born as Joan Palmer, the daughter of William Palmer, an official in the Royal Parks.[4] In 1626 she married Lodowick Carlell or Carlile, Gentleman of the Bows to Charles I and a poet and dramatist,[4] who, as keeper/deputy ranger at Richmond Park during the Commonwealth period, had accommodation at Petersham Lodge.[7] The couple moved to Covent Garden in 1654[3] but returned to Petersham two years later.[1] Lodowick died in 1675 and was buried in Petersham churchyard. Joan died in 1679, and was buried beside her husband on 27 February.[1]
They had two children, James (who was married to Ellen) and Penelope (married to John Fisher, a lawyer of the Middle Temple).[8]
