Drury, Drewry, or Drewery, is an ancient Lincolnshire name. As Drury, and occasionally as Drewery and Druery, it was established in this county and in the adjacent counties of York and Cambridge in the 13th century (H. R.). Drewry was the name of the mayors of Lincoln in 1543, 1754, and 1761 (St.). There were Drewrys in Leake in the reign of Charles I. (T.). The name is still established in Lincoln and Leake. Thomas Drewree was rector of Wroot in 1504 (Sto.) During the 17th century four or five of the mayors of Nottingham bore the name of Drury (Deering's "Nottingham"). There was an old and distinguished family of Drury, of Rougham and Hawsted, Suffolk, in whose possession the family estate had continued for 600 years (L.).; this Suffolk family apparently gave rise to the Drurys of Besthorp, Norfolk, four centuries ago (Cullum's "Hawsted").
