She is believed to be buried with her husband at the Monk Bretton Priory. [2]

"Monk Bretton Priory," pp. 84-90.

"In the floor of the presbytery were found three interments; opposite the aumbry in the south wall was a large stone coffin without a lid, which contained much red dust, and measured 5 feet 18(?)inches in length, 15 inches at the top and 9 inches at the foot (inside) ; closely adjoining the stone coffin on its south side was one made of squared stone slabs jointed together, which contained a well-preserved skeleton of a female. It is probable that these two coffins held the remains of the founder of the priory Adam FitzSwain and his wife -"
