" A CAREFUL survey of a series of the MONUMENTAL BRASSES of this
country, would enable one to follow the gradual changes of manners and
habits, to track the prominent feelings, and even to detect the religious
emotions, peculiar to each age : for, not only the figure, its attitude, and
costume, but the inscription, and the subordinate parts of the design, all
conspire to furnish a lively picture of the individual and his times."
Oxford Manned of Monumental Brasses.
" BRASSES, equally devotional in style and character" with more costly
sculptured effigies, recumbent upon altar-tombs, " occupied no portion of
the church that could be required for more important purposes ; their
position for the most part was on the floor, which they richly adorned,
and it was also the best that could be adopted for commemorating the
departed, and at the same time bringing practically before the minds of
the living the stern lesson, ' Memento homo quia pulvis es, et in pulverem

PREFACE.
THE almost exclusively national character of Monumental
Brasses in England, and the general recognition of their high
value and interest, appeared to require the production of some
work which would comprise a numerous and diversified series
of examples of these memorials, and which, at the same time,
from its moderate cost, might be available to every class of
archaeological enquirers. Such is the design of the present
publication.
In selecting the contents for this volume, those Brasses
have been preferred which are most meritorious, and possess
the greatest general interest ; particularly such specimens as
have recently been discovered by the removal of pews, or
which have not hitherto been figured, or of which engravings
are to be found only in works not generally accessible. In
many instances, several Brasses have been given, selected in-
deed from various parts of the kingdom, but which are all of
the same period, and which all exemplify costume or armour
of the same style and general character : this has been done
in order to afford the opportunity for that careful comparison
of cotemporary examples, which is so necessary to establish
PREPACK.
tlu- lull value of these memorials as connected with the his-
tory of medieval art.
The details of the canopies have, in some of the more
elaborate Brasses, been shewn by separate engravings. In
like manner, the effigies have been sometimes represented
apart from the remainder of the original composition, that
thus their respective peculiarities in costume and armour
might be the better distinguished. Where canopies and
other accessories have been very much mutilated, the few re-
maining fragments have been omitted, or partial restorations
have been introduced, from a desire to convey more satisfac-
torily the effect of the original design a ; and, on the other
hand, in the case of a few specimens of unusually large di-
mensions, portions only of the original Brasses have been
engraved.
The engravings themselves have in all cases been drawn
from careful rubbings of the original Brasses ; and every pre-
caution has been taken to preserve in them the general cha-
racter of the originals, and also to represent even the smallest
details with scrupulous fidelity and exactness ; still, it is but
too probable that many errors and imperfections may be de-
!. which have escaped the notice of the author.
In the descriptive portion of the work, it has been con-
Miluvd advisable to adopt the utmost possible conciseness.
restorations have always been tions in the slabs. In the engravings they

PREFACE. XI
Accordingly, at the foot of the several engravings, there has
been placed a brief statement of the date, or the supposed
date, of each brass; of its measurements and present position;
its shields of arms, and also any mutilations which the ori-
ginal may have suffered, and any omissions or restorations in
the engraving. To this has been added a classification of
the examples with some occasional remarks upon them, and
references for more full and complete descriptions of armour,
costume, &c., to the author's other volume, entitled, " Monu-
h/c/ilal Brasses and Slabs," to Part X. of the Messrs. Waller's
splendid work, and to the Oxford Manual of Brasses. There
will also be found an index of names, places, and heraldry,
and a general chronological index.
This volume is thus complete in itself, but the author
hopes that he may be enabled hereafter to extend the series
beyond one volume.
It would have been scarcely possible for a person entirely
free from any professional occupation, to have obtained ma-
terials for this work without considerable assistance : such
assistance has been the more required by one, who is able to
devote to archaeology but occasional hours of leisure from
other and far more serious engagements. In proportion,
however, to his greater need, the author has experienced an
amount of co-operation, such as he feels altogether unable
suitably to acknowledge. To the many friends from whom he
has derived assistance, in itself most valuable, and invariably

BRASSES OF ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND ABBOTS.
FBOM this most important class of brasses, there are here figured
the memorials of
A.D.
1417. Thomas Cranley, archbishop of Dublin, and warden of New
College, Oxford ; in New College chapel.
1526. John Yong, titular bishop of Callipolis, a city of Thrace,
and warden of New College ; also in the chapel of that
society ; and of
1554. Thomas Goodrich, bishop of Ely ; in the south aisle of the
choir of Ely cathedral.
To these has been added a fragment of a Flemish brass, the
memorial of some bishop or abbot, now in private possession,
which may be assigned to about A.D. 1375.
The effigy only of Archbishop Cranley has been here engraved,
with the view to render, to as large a scale as possible, this admir-
able example of the vestments and official insignia of the hierarchy
of the period. The original brass compreheDded a canopy; an
epitaph in eight lines of rhyming Latin, at the base of the
composition; a commemorative inscription on a border-fillet; and
two shields of arms, one on either side of the head of the effigy.
The greater part of the border-fillet is now lost : but in all other

respects, with the exception of a few small fragments, this brass is
still perfect. The canopy, which rises above the figure from bold
shafts, is triple, and is itself surmounted by a square embattled
head-canopy, having circles of rich tracery in the spandrels formed
by a plain arch. It will be observed that the archiepiscopal crozier
is here a crucifix. This brass has been engraved entire by the
Messrs. Waller.
The shields bear on the fesse point a leopard's face, between
three ducal crowns, two and one.
The epitaph is as follows :

Of the inscription on the border-fillet, there remain but these
words',

From the brass of Bishop Yong, the head of the efjigy and also
the head of the pastoral staff have been broken away. The inscrip-
tion, which is in raised letters, yet remains, having its dates not
filled up. In this example the maniple is omitted: the chesuble is
richly jewelled, and has a central apparel resembling a pall : the
dalmatic is covered with embroidery : and rings are represented, as
worn on every finger of both hands, over the gloves.
In the brass to Bishop Goodrich, the efligy was originally placed
beneath a single canopy : but this canopy, with four shields, a foot-
legend, three small scrolls, and about half of the border-fillet with
its inscription, and two angle-emblems, are now lost. The effigy
itaelf is almost perfect ; it represents the prelate in his full episcopal

right hand a bible; and having been appointed Lord Chancellor
A.D. 1551, he also holds the Great Seal.
Three small scrolls yet remain upon the slab to which this brass
is affixed ; they severally bear the words, si DEVS CONTBA
GOODBYKE.
The evangelistic emblems in this example are placed within large
roses : but of these two only are preserved 5 .
There remain of the inscription on the border-fillet, the following
words only :

The Flemish fragment, evidently the work of the same great
artist with the brass of Abbot Delamere, may probably have formed
a part of the now lost memorial of another head of the abbey of St.
Alban, whose despoiled slab lies in the choir of the abbey church.
As a work of art, this fragment may, perhaps, be regarded as the
very finest specimen of this class of monument known to be in
existence .

c. 1330. John de Grofhurst, Horsemonden church, Kent. This
brass is probably the work of a French artist. The chesu-
ble is here ornamented about its border, and has a cen-
tral pall-shaped apparel ; and the sleeve-apparels of the
alb encircle the wrists. This latter arrangement is also
exemplified in the brasses to Nichol de Gore, and Thomas
de Hop, (both figured in this volume ;) to three other
priests, at "Wensley in Yorkshire, Minims in Herts.,
and Oultonin Suffolk, (all figured in Monumental Brasses
and SMs;) and in two semi-effigial brasses, in Merton
chapel, Oxford, and at Brington in Northamptonshire,
(both figured in Christian Monuments in England and
Wales, section 11.)

The effigy is here represented as holding a chalice, with
the sacramental wafer. The legend has, in addition to
the date, the dominical letter of the year.
SEMI-EFFIGIES OF ECCLESIASTICS HABITED IN THE
CHESUBLE, &c.
c. 1320. Thomas de Hop, Kemsing church, Kent.
This is, probably, the earliest example of an ecclesi-
astical semi-effigy in brass. The sleeve-apparels of the
alb are here continued round the wrists, and the chesuble
has an ornamented border.
c. 1350. Semi-effigy of an ecclesiastic, Wantage church, Berk-
shire.
c. 1370. "Walter Frilende, Oakham church, Surrey. This brass
appears to be the work of a foreign artist. The chesuble
has a pall-shaped apparel, and its border is slightly orna-
mented.
c. 1370. John Alderburne, Lewknor church, Oxfordshire. The
singular device, known as the fylfot cross d , is the sole
ornament of the apparels of the amice and alb in this
example : the same device also appears in the last named
brass, and in several other specimens which are figured in
this volume.

BRASSES OF ECCLESIASTICS HABITED IN THE COPE, &c.
c. 1360. William de Fulburne, Fulbourn church, Cambridgeshire.
This may be regarded as the earliest known example of
a coped brass. It is of very large dimensions, having
above the effigy a lofty single canopy. Of the border
legend there remain only the words following :
* HIC . IACET . DOMINVS . WILLMVS . DE . FVLBVBNE . QVONDAM .
CANONICVS . ECCLESIAfi . SCI . PAVLI . LONDON
At the feet of the effigy are the lines,
VERMIBS . HIC . DONOR ET . SIC . OSTENDERE . CONOR .
QVD . SICVD . HIC . PONOR PONlf . OMNIS . HONOR.
Two shields of arms are lost. The morse of the cope is
charged with armorial insignia, a saltire, between four
martlets: and the initial letters, W. I\, appear in the
apparels of the cope.
c. 1365. An ecclesiastic, Watton church, Herts.
1382. John de Campeden, St. Cross, Winchester. The ecclesi-
astic commemorated by this noble brass, enjoyed the inti-
mate friendship of William de Wyckham, the illustrious
bishop of Winchester.
li:;r,. William Prestwyk, dean of Battle, Warbleton church,
Sussex. Three plates are here given of this truly splendid
brass, with a view to render the details of both the effigy
and the canopy to as large a scale as possible, and also to
shew the general effect of the entire composition. The
apparel of the cope is embroidered with the text, " Credo,
quod Redemptor meus vivit," &c., the word "Credo"
being placed upon the morse. The finial of the canopy is

scroll bearing the truly appropriate legend, sic . CHEISTVS .

1432. John Mapilton, Broadwater church, Sussex. In this ex-
ample the morse of the cope is ensigned with the sacred
monogram I H C, and the apparels of the vestment are
embroidered with the initial M, a maple leaf, and a rose,
in alternate circles and lozenges.
1435. Henry Martin, Upwell church, Norfolk. The cope is
here represented as being worn with the amice and alb,
and it displays the adjustment of the stole 6 . This brass
has been, by mistake, engraved to too small a scale.
c. 1460. Eichard Wylleys, Higham Ferrers church, Northampton-
shire. The morse and apparels of the cope are here or-
namented with jewels, or with embroidery to represent
jewels.
1471. Doctor Henry Sever, Merton College chapel, Oxford.
This fine brass exemplifies the practice of embroidering
the apparels of the cope with tabernacle-work and figures
of saints : the figures represent, on the right side of the
effigy, (1.) some bishop, (2.) St. James, (3.) St. James
the Less, (4.) St. Paul ; and on the left side, (1.) St. John
Baptist, (2.) St. Matthew, (3.) St. Bartholomew, (4.) St.
Thomas. Parts only of two compartments of a rich triple
canopy remain above the head of the effigy, in the original
brass.
c. 1515. An ecclesiastic, probably Dr. Eobert Langton, Queen's
College, Oxford f . In this example the entire surface of
the cope is covered with a rich embroidery of lozenge-
work, each lozenge being charged with a fleur-de-lys.

resembling this in design, but of inferior execution, is pre-
served at Dowdeswell, in Gloucestershire.
1505. John Stodeley, Over Winchendon church, Buckingham-
shire. The cope in this example has its hood attached to
it : possibly, however, the outer vestment here represented
may be a monk's cloak. The original is inlaid with lead,
where the white under- vestment appears .
SEMI-EFFIGY IN A COPE, &c.
1465. Thomas Cod, vicar, St. Margaret's church, Eochester.
The original brass becoming loose, it was discovered that
the plate was engraved on both sides : in the accompany-
ing figure the two designs are represented. The amice
appears in one design, the aumuce in the other 11 .

CROSSES AND BRACKET BRASSES, HAVING EFFIGIES OR PARTS
OF EFFIGIES OF ECCLESIASTICS.
c. 1320. Nichol de Gore, Woodchurch church, Kent. The effigy
is here habited iii the chesuble.
c. 1330. Floriated cross, with the head of an ecclesiastic, Chinuor
church, Oxfordshire. The collar of the amice is the only
part of the costume which is introduced into this compo-
sition.
c. 1375. Floriated cross, with an effigy, Hereford cathedral. The
cope is represented in this fine brass.
1408. John Lumbarde, Stone church, Kent. This is another
example of an ecclesiastical effigy in the chesuble. The
original brass had a shield of arms on either side of the
shaft of the cross, and also a foot legend below its
base.
c. 1420. Bracket brass to John Bloxham, and John Whytton,
Merton College chapel, Oxford. The two effigies appear
in academic habit '.
c. 1120. Bracket brass to Eeginald de Cobham, Cobham church,

CROSS BRASSES WITHOUT ANY EFFIGY OR PART
OF AN EFFIGY'.
The usual arrangement in these brasses is to place a
cross-head of four equal bars, (and thus itself forming a
Greek cross,) upon a tall shaft with a base.
A.D.
1400. Cross to the memory of Thomas Chichele, and Agnes his
wife, Higham Ferrers church, Northamptonshire. The
cross-head is decorated with a flowing pattern : the four
bars terminate in the evangelistic emblems ; and at their
intersection is the figure of our Lord. The emblem of St.
Mark, which is lost in the original, is restored in the
engraving : but through a mistake, this emblem has been
placed at the extremity of the wrong arm of the cross.
This is the memorial of the parents of Archbishop Chichele,
the founder of AH Souls' CoUege, Oxford.
c. 1400. Head and base of a cross, Grainthorpe church, Lincoln-
shire. This beautiful cross is represented as fixed upon a
rock rising out of the sea.
c. 1415. Cross to Koger Cheyne, Esquire, Cassington church,
Oxfordshire D .
1425. Cross to Margaret Oliver, Beddington church, Surrey.
In the original of this simple memorial to the faithful
servant of Nicholas Carew, the lower bar of the cross-
head is lost.

most one being surmounted by a smaller canopied figure
and two pinnacles : of the compartments five only now
remain. The finial of the main canopy, which originally
supported a helmet and crest, is lost: the legs of the

c. 13GO. Sir John Argentine (?), Horseheath church, Cambridge-
shire. This is a very fine effigy : and the despoiled stone
evidently shews that its canopy was equally good; but
this is now entirely lost, with the sole exception of a
small figure of an angel, which is represented as issuing
from a cloud and holding the tilting-helmet of the knight.
c. 13C5. Sir John Kaven (?), Great Berkhampstead church, Hert-

first example in the present series of brasses in which the
effigy of the deceased knight is represented with the head

esting brass is elaborately enriched, and the belt is very
splendid. The hauberk of mail is shewn with unusual dis-
tinctness. Unfortunately, in the original the head of the
knight's effigy is lost. The lady wears a loose and flow-

head-gear is richly reticulated". Of the original border-
legend the following words only remain : NONAGE SSIMO .

Gloucestershire.
1402. Sir William Ffienlez, Hurstmonceux church, Sussex.
1404. Knight and lady of the Stourton family, Sawtrey church,
Huntingdonshire. On the knight's tilting-helmet is the
singular crest of the Stourtous, the demi-figure of a monk
in his cowl, grasping a flagellum of five lashes. The effigy
of the knight bears a close resemblance to that of Sir
Morys Russel. The costume of the lady is also the same
with that worn by the Lady Isabel Russel, but the head-
dress is different P, and the head is represented as sup-
ported by two pillows. Of the original inscription to this
brass the following words only remain, MENS . APEILIS .

c. 1405. A knight, Laughton church, Lincolnshire. (Two plates.)
This is one of the finest and most martial effigies of the
period. The armour and accoutrements are all elaborately
enriched. The transverse sword-belt here makes its first
appearance in this series of military brasses : and it is worn
with the broad hip-belt. The triple canopy is very splendid,
and the vaulted soffits of its three arches are represented.
The original inscriptions have been lost; and in their
place a more recent legend has been substituted, which
bears the names of William and George Dalison, Esquires,
A.D. 1543, and 1549 : hence it appears " that the Dalisons
surreptitiously appropriated the tomb and effigy of some
earlier knight to be their own memorials."

Sir Thomas Massyngberd and lady, Gun by church,
Lincolnshire. (Two plates.) This Sir Thomas Massyng-
berde lived at a period considerably later than the evident
date of this fine brass, which bears his name.
The knight's effigy is very similar to the fine effigies of
Sir Keginald Braybroke and Sir Nicholas Hawberke r , at
Cobham, in Kent. The hauberk and camail both have a
border formed of small bunches of rings. The colkr of
SS. is worn by both the lady and the knight 8 . In one of
the engravings the canopy is shewn in exactly its present
state'.

intoresting brass, the knight wears upon his bascinet an
orle of roses: his camail is partly covered by a gorget:
the jupon is not worn, but above the waist appears the
breast-plate, while the greater part of the skirt of the
hauberk is covered by five taces : the epaulieres, coudieres
and genouillieres also, all indicate the progress to the
adoption of unmixed plate-armour. The broad belt en-
circles the waist, instead of being adjusted about the
hips: the sword is suspended from a second rich belt,
which is girded transversely from the right side to the
left : the weapon itself is very splendid : the small shield
at the head of the scabbard bears a lion rampant x . The
form and adjustment of the lady's costume is very curious :
she wears a very rich reticulated head-dress. The figures
are surmounted by a double triple-canopy.
1401. Sir Thomas Braunstone, "Wisbeach church, Cambridgeshire.
This brass is now so much worn that its elaborate en-
richments can scarcely be distinguished. It exhibits the
camail worn with the taces, and is in all respects a fine
and valuable example.
1403. Sir John Hanley, and Joanna and Alice his wives, Dart-
mouth church, Devonshire. (Two plates.) The laces of
the camail are here shewn : the breast-plate and taces are
worn, the latter having apparently a fringe ; the skirt of
the hauberk is escaloped. The side-less cote-hardi is worn
by both the ladies, with a close tunic?.
c. 1410. Knight and lady, South Kelsey church, Lincolnshire. In
this very curious specimen the camail is entirely covered ;
at the shoulders are palettes of singular form; the
gauntlets and also belt are very peculiar, and the cou-

dieres are fan-shaped. The lady wears a loose and flowing
mantle : the head-dress is the earliest form of that which
is known as the mitred head-dress 2 .
1410. Sir John Wylcotes and Alicia his wife, Great Tew church,
Oxfordshire. (Two plates.) A gorget covers the greater
part of the knight's camail : his head rests on his tilting-
helmet, the upper part of which, with the crest, is now lost ;
and there are palettes to guard the shoulder-joints. In
each spandrel of the fine double canopy appears a hand
holding a scroll, with the motto, IN . ON . is . AL . This
same device and legend are repeated between each verse
of the border-inscription.
1418. Sir Thomas de Saint Quintin, and Agnes his wife, Harp-
ham church, Yorkshire. (Two plates.) In this brass the
knight wears upon his bascinet an orle of a very singular
character : his camail is entirely covered : he has roundels
at the right shoulder and at both the elbow-joints, while
at the left shoulder is a palette ; his belt appears formed
of open work. The lady wears a super-tunic of ample pro-
portions, encircled at the waist by a very broad band ; the
cufis are very large 8 . The shields of arms are SAINT
QUINTIN and WARREN of Yorkshire.
1424. Eobert Hayton, Esquire, Theddlethorpe church, Lincoln-
shire. This is the latest known example of the camail.

1414. Sir Ivo Fitzwaryn, Wantage church, Berkshire. In this
example, as well as in some few others of rather later
date, the border of a light hauberk, or perhaps of a skirt of
mail, appears below the taces. This knight wears the hip-
belt, and has roundels at the shoulders and at the elbow-
joints.
1407 date of the brass, about 1415. Sir John Lysle, Thruxton
church, Hampshire. (Three plates.) This fine brass must
be considered to have been executed a few years subse-
quent to the decease of Sir John Lysle, who is here repre-
sented in a suit of unmixed plate-armour, as the steel
panoply was first worn. The effigy is given to a larger
scale than in the engraving of the entire composition ; and
a third plate of details is added.
1416. Sir Symon de Felbrigge, K.G., and Margaret his wife,
Felbrigg church, Norfolk 5 . (Two plates.)

c. 1420. John Cressy, Esquire, and Cristina his wife, Dodford church,
Northamptonshire .
1424. John "Wantele, Amberley church, Sussex. In this example
there appears a tabard worn over the armour : the sleeves
are short, and they differ in form from those which were
subsequently introduced : it will also be observed that here
tlu- heraldic insignia are not (as they afterwards were) re-
upon the sleeves.

c. 1425. Kobert Lord Ferrers of Chartley, and Margaret his wife,
Mere vale abbey-church, Warwickshire. Another fine ex-
ample of plate-armour of the simplest and most martial
period. Above the tilting-helmet, which forms the knight's
pillow, rises his crest, a plume of peacock's feathers. The
baguette, a small appendage to the taces, is here shewn :
this appears to have led to the introduction of tuilles.
The costume of the lady closely resembles some other
specimens already described.
c. 1425. Sir John Segrave (?), Dorchester abbey-church, Oxford-
shire. The baguette is here much larger.
1426. Sir John de Brewys, "Wiston church, Sussex. The position
of the sword, in this fine and interesting brass, differs
somewhat from the usual adjustment of that weapon. It
will be seen that the slab is powdered with small scrolls,
which bear alternately the words JESVS . MERCY. The six
shields (of which one is lost from the original) are all
charged with the arms of de Brewys d .
1433. John Leventhorpe, Esquire, Sawbridgeworth church,
Hertfordshire. Small taces attached by buckles to the
lowermost tace, are apparent in this and in the next ex-
ample. There is also in both an alteration in the form of
the coudieres. The collar is lost from the brass at Saw-
bridgeworth, but the original still shews traces of its
having been a collar of SS e .

stead church, Sussex*. (Two plates.) The armour in this
specimen is very plain, and without any of the additional
plates in use at the period. The taces are nine in number.
The effigy of Lady Halsham is singularly graceful and ele-
gant. The original brass had a commemorative inscription
on a border-fillet, but of this a few words only now re-
main : the complete legend was as follows :

into use. The most remarkable novelties here apparent
are the pauldrons for the protection of the shoulders, and
the enormous elbow-plates or coudieres.
The costume of Lady Staunton is simple but elegant :
she wears the mitred head-dress 1 . The children, in two
groups, are placed at the feet of their parents.
The pinnacles of the canopy, with four shields of arms,
are lost ; a small portion of the border-legend also is now
wanting.
1460. Sir Eobert del Bothe and Dulcia his wife, Wilmslow
church, Cheshire. The armour here exhibits a very de-
cided change from that shewn in the previous examples.
The adjustment of the knee-defences is very curious : the
tuilles are much larger than heretofore : the pauldrons and
coudieres have an entirely new form, and the throat is
encircled by a mentoniere. The sword of the knight is
girded in front of his person, crossing from right to left.
There is no dagger ; the head is bare ; and so also are the
hands.
The lady is habited in a kirtle and mantle, and her right
hand is clasped in that of her husband. Her hair flows
unconfined over her shoulders from beneath a fillet, which
encircles her brows. The two effigies are placed above the
embattled basement of a double canopy, now lost. The
original composition was completed by a border-legend,
and four shields of arms. Of these shields three remain,
(one has been accidentally omitted in the engraving,) and
they are severally charged with the arms of Bothe, Massey
and FittonJ : the fourth shield was for Thornton. The
inscription, when complete, was as follows :

c. 1460. Eichard QuatremayDs, Esquire, Sybil his wife, and their
son, Thame church, Oxfordshire. (Two plates.) The ar-
rangement of the effigies in this brass is very unusual :
and the figure of the son is represented as but little smaller
than the figures of his parents. The armour here repre-
sented is highly characteristic of the period; and at
the same time it exemplifies a most extravagant variety
of knightly panoply. The pauldrons which protect the
shoulders differ from each other both in size and form :
this is also the case with the extraordinary coudieres. In
front of the right shoulder is a moton : and the throat is
encircled by a collar of mail, deeply indented at the edge.
The father and son are represented as both similarly armed.
The lady wears the sideless cote-hardi over a kirtle, and
a mantle : in the original the head is lost, but its outline
is distinctly visible in the slab to which the brass is affixed.
These effigies are placed upon an elaborately enriched
altar-tomb, about the margin of which is the following
rhamfer-inscription in slightly raised letters :

There were originally four shields of arms, one at each
angle of the slab : of these one only now remains, and this
still retains a portion of the original heraldic tinctures : it

terly ', 1st and 1M, art/, afesse, sa. letiveenfour dexter hands
couped at the wrists, gu., for QUATEEMAINE : 2nd and 3rd,

14G2. Sir Thomas Grene and Matilda Throckmorton his wife,
Greens' Norton church, Northamptonshire. This knight
wears, over his steel breast-plate, a demi-placcate, and he
has a lance-rest screwed upon the armour which covers his
breast on the right side. The two pauldrons are not very
dissimilar, and they are finished above by a serrated ridge,
somewhat resembling the back-fin of a fish : this appears
to be prototype of the passe-guarde of a later period.
The coudieres are large, and also serrated like the paul-
drons. About the throat is a collar or mentoniere of mail :
the head and hands are bare; the former rests upon a
tilting-helmet, now despoiled of its crest ; the latter are
clasped and uplifted, as in prayer. The figure below the
waist is drawn in such a manner as to represent the knees
as turned outwards : the joins of the armour inside the
legs are, consequently, shewn : and the singularly formed
genouillieres with their back-plates, and also the tuilles, are
seen in profile. The sollerets are still pointed. Between
the tuilles appears the skirt of a haketon, and over this a
baguette of mail. The sword is girded at the left side
almost perpendicularly, by a narrow belt : and from this
same belt a misericorde of unusual size is suspended in
front of the person.
This effigy closes the series of illustrations of armour
contained in this volume.
The lady is in a widow's habit ; she wears a kirtle, a
mantle, a flowing kerchief upon the head, and a barbe be-
neath the chin. Beneath the larger effigies were small
figures of their four children; but these, which were

severally labelled Thomas, , John, and Elizabeth,
have all disappeared, except the last. Of four shields
originally placed at the angles of the composition, two
only remain : these bear GBENE impaling FEBBABS, and
ORENE and MABLETHOBP quarterly. This fine and in-
teresting brass was originally fixed upon an altar-tomb :
but this is now destroyed, and the brass lies upon the
pavement of the chancel.
The border-legend has been preserved, and it is as

comprises the effigies of the judge and his lady beneath a
rich double canopy. The judge is represented in his official
robes, with a coif upon his head 1 ; his feet rest upon a
lion ; and in his hands he holds a heart inscribed with the
words IHU '. MCY. The lady is habited in a kirtle under a
mantle, and has the horned head-dress of the times : she
was the daughter and heiress of John Boteler of Ewell
Court, Esquire. She survived the judge, and also a second
husband, Thomas Borgeys, Esquire, and died A.D. 1458 m .
In the spandrels of the canopy between the pinnacles and
the finials, were four shields of arms ; of these one only
now remains, and bears the arms of Boteler, or Butler.
1553. Sir "William Coke, judge of the King's Bench, and Alice
his wife, Milton church, Cambridgeshire. The two prin-
cipal figures in this brass are represented as partly turned
towards each other. The judge, over the ordinary civic
attire of the time, wears his robes ; and the lady has the
puffed and slashed sleeves, and the loose dress of the
period of Queen Mary. Above the effigies is an achieve-
ment of arms, and below them are two groups of children,
and a reversed inscription. The composition is completed
by a border-legend with angle emblems .
It may be well here to mention that there are other fine brasses
to judges yet preserved at Gunby in Lincolnshire, Baldwin Bright-
well in Oxfordshire, Watford in Hertfordshire, Bray in Berkshire,
and in the church of St. Mary Eedcliffe at Bristol. Judge "William
de Lodynton, in his fine brass at Gunby, wears an anlace beneath
his judicial robes.
1 Judges were originally ecclesiastics,
and they wore the coif to cover the ton-
sure.
m See Hasted's Kent, vol. ii. p. 705.
Thomas Borgeys had a hrass in the same
church, and, indeed, its border-legend
yet remains : he died A.D. 1452.
" At the foot of the engraving, this brass
is incorrectly stated to be now lying on
the pavement ; it still rests upon its origi-
nal low altar-tomb. Also in the engrav-
ing itself is an error ; the omission, that
is, of a scroll above the head of the lady
corresponding with that which is above
the head of her husband.

. Thomas Eolf, Sergeant-at-law, Gosfield church, Essex.
The habit of this learned sergeant closely resembles the
academic costume of ecclesiastics worn in his times. He
has on his head a coif, and from beneath his hood appear
two small lappets or bands. The inscription is a remark-
able example of the singular rhyming Latin in such re-
pute in the middle ages.
c. 1360. A Lady, (unknown,) Great Berkhampstead church, Hert-
fordshire. A loose super-tunic, without any buttons, is
the only outer garment represented in this simple yet
highly effective effigy. Upon the head is a kerchief,
which partly covers the reticulated head-gear. The sin-
gular lines upon the arms, introduced apparently as a
species of shading, may be also observed in the brass of
Eichard and Beatrice de Heylesdone, at Hellesdon in
Norfolk.
c. 1370. Blanche Bradstone (?), "Winterbourne church, Gloucester-
shire. In this example the super-tunic, which is without
buttons, has two pocket-holes in front of the figure, and
through these is seen the cincture of the kirtle which was
worn beneath. The closely-buttoned mitten-sleeves of the
kirtle are also displayed, as is the case in the Berkhamp-
stead brass . The effigy of Blanche Bradstone was origi-
nally surmounted by a single canopy, which, with the
border-legend, is now lost.
c. 1370. Maude Lady Cobham, Cobham church, Kent. The cos-
tume of this effigy is the sideless cote-hardi, buttoned
o Pocket-holes of precisely the same Buckinghamshire. See Mon. Brasses and
form were used in the garments of the Slabs, p. 121 ; and the Oxford Manual,

ample of the long sleeve-lappets so commonly worn at
the period.
1385. Margaret Lady de Cobham, Cobham church, Kent. This
lady, who was wife to Sir John de Cobham, the founder of
Cobham college, is habited in a kirtle and mantle, with a
reticulated head-dress: the reticulations, it will be ob-
served, are not continued down the sides of the face, as in
the previous examples, but are renewed on the shoulders ;
this is a somewhat common arrangement. The head rests
on two embroidered cushions, and the finial of the canopy
is formed by a seated figure of the blessed Virgin with
the holy Child.
1391. Margaret Lady "Willoughby D'Eresby, Spilsby church,
Lincolnshire. The costume here depicted is the tunic,
sideless cote-hardi, and mantle; over the forehead is a
bandeau of jewels, and the front of the reticulated head-
dress is similarly enriched.
c. 1400. A Civilian (unknown) and his wife, Ore church, Sussex.
The man wears a long loose tunic, with an anlace sus-
pended from a broad and rich baudrick. The lady's tunic
is buttoned throughout its entire length : her head-dress
resembles that of Lady Margaret de Cobham.

c. 1400. A Wool-merchant (unknown) and his wife, Northleach
church, Gloucestershire. This is a very fine and valuable
brass: the merchant wears the customary long tunic,
which in this instance is buttoned in front, and encircled
at the waist by a richly embroidered belt, and to this is
attached an anlace. Over the tunic is a mantle, with a
capuchon, fastened by three large buttons on the right
shoulder, probably an official robe ; the feet rest upon a
wool-pack. The tunic of the lady is made to set close to
the face, and is fastened with buttons; over this is a
mantle, and the head-dress is a long coverchef.
c. 1400. A Civilian (unknown) and his wife, Tilbrook church,
Bedfordshire. Both husband and wife are here habited
in loose tunics, which are buttoned up close to the face,
and have very large sleeves. The male figure has a capu-
chon, and a large anlace.
1401. William Grevel and Marion his wife, Chipping Campden
church, Gloucestershire. This truly noble brass must be
regarded as a fitting memorial for the munificent rebuilder
of the church within the walls of which he now lies buried,
and who could be characterised as FLOS . MCATOB LANAR*
TOCIVS ANGLIE, the flower of the wool-merchants of the
whole realm of England. The double canopy which sur-
mounts the effigies has a central shaft ; and in the span-
drels of the two heads of the canopy itself are foiled circles
containing the merchant's mark, while above are four
shields, all charged with the same armorial cognizance.
The border-legend comprises two distinct and complete
commemorative inscriptions.

1416. Thomas Stokes, Esquire, Elena his wife, and their children,
Ashby Ledgers church, Northamptonshire. The effigy of
Thomas Stokes is here represented in civic attire, notwith-
standing that he is described as AEMIGEE. The upper
compartment of the canopy originally contained the em-
blematical representation of the Holy Trinity 8 ; or possibly
this device may have denoted the two-fold nature of our
blessed Lord.
1419. Margaret, wife of "William Cheyne, Hever church, Kent.
The costume of this effigy is a simple kirtle and mantle,
with the mitred head-dress. The head rests upon two em-
broidered cushions, which are represented as supported by
two angels with uplifted wings, and habited in the amice
and alb*.
c. 1425. Alice de Bryan, Acton church, Suffolk. The costume in
this example denotes a widowed lady.
1425. William Chichele and Beatrice his wife, Higham Ferrers
church, Northamptonshire, (two plates.) This is an ex-
ample of singular merit and beauty ; it is the memorial of
a younger brother of the archbishop, a citizen and alder-
man of London, and his wife, a daughter of William Bar-
rett, Esquire. The border-legend, when complete, was as
follows :

1432. Nicholas Carew, Esquire, Isabel his wife, and Thomas
their son. This fine brass consists of two effigies only,
those of Nicholas and Isabel Carew, beneath a double
canopy, a border-legend, and five shields of arms, of which
one is now lost. The design of the canopy is unusual,
the arches which rise above the heads of the effigies being
placed in immediate connection with the embattled crest-
ing. The shields of arms bear CABEW ; CAREW impaling
DELAMEBE : and CABEW impaling gules, three Catherine
wheels argent, for EOET (?). Of this Nicholas Carew the
inscription records that SENEX ET PLENUS DIEBUM IN PACE
QUIEVIT : he was son to Nicholas Carew, Lord Keeper to
Edward III., who died A.D. 1390, and was himself sheriff
of Surrey and knight of the shire under Eichard II. x
c. 1435. A lady of the Clopton family, Long Melford church,
Suffolk.
1437. Eobert Skerne and wife, Kingston-upon-Thames church,
Surrey. This brass affords another admirable example of
costume, and also of the peculiar form of commemorative
inscription in use at the period : the figures are well drawn

in the original, and carefully engraved. The lady was
daughter of Alice Pierce, well known as the alleged mis-
tress of Edward III. in his declining years y.
1446. Joice Lady Tiptoft, Enfield church, Middlesex. (Two
plates.) The effigy in this elaborate brass is represented
as habited in a sideless cote-hardi, worn over a kirtle, and
a mantle, the mantle being embroidered with the arms of
Powis impaling HOLLAND ; the head-dress is of the mitred
form, and is surmounted by a coronet. The inscription
on the border-fillets is partly covered, but it is given in
full by Gough, with the exception of a few words at the
commencement, as follows: + DOMINA JOCOSA

daughter to Edward CJiarlton, (in the foregoing inscrip-
tion designated Caroli, domini Powes,) Lord Powys, who
married Eleanor, widow of Koger Mortimer, earl of
Marche, and daughter to Thomas Holland, earl of Kent ;
she was, at the time of her decease, forty-two years old :
her husband, Sir John Tiptoft, was summoned to parlia-
ment as Baron Tiptoft and Powis, and having been in
lii.^h reputation with Henry V. and Henry VI., he died
A.D. 1442 z .
1464. Eichard Wakehurst, Esquire, and Elizabeth his wife,
Ardingly church, Sussex. The effigies in this brass, in
accordance with the prevailing habit of the period, are
represented as partly turned towards each other ; the hus-

band is attired in a loose gown, with a gypciere and
rosary attached to his girdle; his shoes are very large,
and round at the toes : the lady has the skirt of her ample
tunic tucked up upon her left arm, and her head-dress is
of the butterfly or wired form; she was daughter to
Eobert Echyngham, Esq. a
1470. Christina, wife of Matthew Phelip, Herne church, Kent.
The attitude of this effigy differs from the previous ex-
amples, the uplifted hands being spread apart instead of
clasped together ; the costume is a kirtle and mantle, the
latter of very ample dimensions, lined with fur, and secured
in front of the person by a cordon, having a large slide
and tassels ; to the waist-cincture is attached a rosary :
and the head-dress resembles that worn by Lady Staunton
at Castle Donington 5 . The commemorative legend con-
tains the unusual expression, QUE MIGEAVIT AB HAC
VALLE MISERIE.
c. 1480. Jenkyn Smith, and Marion his wife, St. Mary's church,
Bury St. Edmund's, Suffolk. The effigies in this brass
appear in a kneeling attitude, with the hands held after
the manner of the last example : the man originally wore
a collar, apparently that of the house of York.
1482. Isabella, wife of William Cheyne, Esquire, Blickling
church, Norfolk. The close-fitting sleeves of the period,
with their large cuffs, are here exemplified. There is also
worn a necklace of extravagant size, and the butterfly
head-dress. The shield at the foot of the legend is charged
with the arms of CHEYNE impaling BOLEYN, now much
defaced. This lady was daughter to Geoffrey Boleyn, and
great aunt to the unfortunate queen, Anne Boleyn c .

many others, is reversed, in consequence of the slab

of the church d .
c. 1430. Brass to the memory of Walter Beauchamp, Checkendon
church, Oxfordshire. This composition comprises a le-
gend, with a shield of arms, and a symbolical representa-
tion of the translation of a departed spirit, expressed by
the figures of two angels issuing from clouds, and bearing
up a small undraped figure in a kind of sheet. In the
monumental memorials of the middle ages this device
may be frequently observed.
