Parliament was dissolved on 4 April 1536 . On the outbreak of the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536 Wingfield was one of the Suffolk gentry upon whom the government relied for aid . He justified Thomas Cromwell 's opinion of him by opposing the incitements of the friars and other disaffected ecclesiastics . He was nominated in 1536 a commissioner for the valuation of the lands and goods of religious houses in Norfolk and Suffolk . For these services he was rewarded by a grant in tail male , dated 29 June 1537 , of the manors of Netherhall and Overhall in Dedham , Essex , and all the lands in Dedham belonging to the suppressed nunnery of Campsie , Suffolk , also of the manor of Crepinghall in Stutton , Suffolk , and all lands there belonging to the late priory of Colne Comitis ( Earls Colne ) in Essex . According to a letter written by him to Cromwell soon after this grant he had then lost half his estate by his wife 's death . On 4 July 1538 he was nominated upon a special commission of oyer and terminer for treasons in six of the eastern counties . He was also commissioned to survey the defensive points of the coast when in 1539 there were apprehensions of an invasion . He was among the knights appointed to receive Anne of Cleves in January 1540 . After the conviction of Henry Courtenay , 1st Marquess of Exeter he received a grant of a lease of his lands in Lalford Says , Ardelegh , Colchester , and Mile-End , in Essex and Suffolk . He was again returned to Parliament as the Member for Great Yarmouth in 1542
