It is not know for certain if Lady Margaret is buried in St. Mary's "however as her husband Sir Nicholas is buried in the church is would seem very likely that she is buried in in the church"
Nicholas & Margaret Tufton were the great great grandparents of John Tufton 2nd Earl of Thannet, he married Lady Margaret Sackville who's ancestors were the earls of Dorset & the Tudor & Plantagenet line of the throne of England this line is through John Tufton Aug 1519 – 16 Oct 1567 whom I have marked in blue, see end of family tree for an extensive genealogy which shows our connection to the Sackville's & the Noble & Royal genealogy of Margate Sackville wife of our common ancestor John Tufton 2nd Earl of Thanet.
Also Nicholas & Margaret's Great Grandson Nicholas Tufton 1557 – 30th June 1632 married Francis Cecil who was the Daughter of Sir Thomas Cecil Earl of Exeter & the Granddaughter of William Cecil Lord Burghley Treasurer of England to Queen Elizabeth Tudor 1st.
Margaret the daughter & heir of John Hever of Cranbrook Kent, John Hever was a descendant of the Hever's of Kent & the founders of Hever castle which later became the home of Sir Thomas Bullen the father of Ann Boleyn wife of Henry the 8th. The Hever's line of descent before John Hever is unknown but an early ancestor from who John Hever would have descended is Walter de HEVER, first owner of Hever Castle, whose 1211 contemporary Hughe de HEVER bore arms "Gerv., A playn Crosse Arg., a Labell of 5 Azur." William de HEVER, Sheriff in the reign of Edward I, became owner of Hever Castle in 1270, the year the Gatehouse was constructed. Ownership then passed to Thomas de HEVER in 1300, William de HEVER in 1340, and in 1360 to Joan de HEVER, who married Sir Reginald de COBHAM. Passing through eight more proprietors, in 1505 Hever Castle became the home of Sir Thomas BULLEN, and of daughter Anne BOLEYN - the second wife of Henry VIII. Upon the death of Sir Thomas BULLEN, Hever Castle reverted to the Crown, and Henry granted ownership to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, as part of the divorce settlement in 1540. Magnificantly restored by William Waldorf ASTOR, 1st Viscount Astor of Hever, a double moat, gardens and a Tudor Village surround
