''• 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 Manual 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, c Memento homo quia pulvis es, et in pulverem 
 reverteris! 1 " — Messrs. Waller. 
 
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

 PREFACE. 
 
 the full 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- 
 tected, which have escaped the notice of the author. 
 
 In the descriptive portion of the work, it has been con- 
 sidered advisable to adopt the utmost possible conciseness. 
 
 a These restorations have always been tions in the slabs. In the engravings they 
 drawn from the remaining fragments them- are expressed by faint lines, 
 selves, or from the indents of the lost por- 
 
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- 
 mental 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

 To Mr. R. B. Utting also, by whom all the engravings 
 contained in this volume have been executed from his own 
 drawings on the wood, the author wishes to record his 
 obligation for his uniform attention, care, and punctuality : 
 to his talent and skill as an artist, Mr. Utting can desire 
 no other testimony than that afforded by his engravings 
 themselves.

 BRASSES OF ECCLESIASTICS. 
 
 BRASSES OF ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND ABBOTS. 
 
 From 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 Tong, 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 comprehended 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 
 
18

 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 3 , — 
 
 RUIT ISTE PATER ALDELMI FESTO. CURSU 
 MIGRAUIT HONESTO. QUI CIRCUSTATIS. 
 
 From the brass of Bishop Tong, the head of the effigy 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 effigy 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 
 itself is almost perfect ; it represents the prelate in his full episcopal

 Oxford Manual of Brasses, p. 7.

 vestments, as he wore them after the Reformation : he holds in his 
 right hand a bible; and having been appointed Lord Chancellor 
 A.D. 1551, he also holds the Great Seal. 
 
 Three small scrolls yet remain npon the slab to which this brass 
 is affixed; they severally bear the words, si deys — contra — 
 
 GOODRYKE. 
 
 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 : — 
 
 ....FORIS ENI APUD EXTEROS PRICEPES SEPE LEGATUS DOMI QUIDEM CUM 
 REGI EDWARDO EIUS NOIS SEXTO ALIQUADIU CONSILIARIUS EXTITISSET.

 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 .

 BRASSES OF ECCLESIASTICS HABITED IN THE CHESUBLE, &c. 
 
 A.D. 
 
 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, Mimms in Herts., 
 and Oulton in Suffolk, (all figured in Monumental Brasses 
 and 8lahs ;) 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.) 
 
 1375. Peter de Lacy, Northfleet church, Kent. The follow- 
 ing words only remain of the border legend to this 
 fine brass.

 1389. Eichard Thaseburgh, Hellesdon church, Norfolk.

 The same, — shewing the effigy only to a larger scale. 
 This beautiful specimen, with the brasses at Broadwater

 in the chesuble, the cope, and in academic costume.

 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. 
 
 A.D. 
 
 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. 
 
 For a description and further illustration of the chesuble and 
 other vestments, which are represented in these brasses, see

 BRASSES OF ECCLESIASTICS HABITED IN THE COPE, &c. 
 
 A.D. 
 
 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 . FVLBVRNE . QVONDAM . 
 CANONICVS . ECCLESIAR . SCI . PAVLI . LONDON 
 
 At the feet of the effigy are the lines, 
 
 VERMIBS . HIC . DONOR— ET . SIC . OSTENDERE . CONOR . 
 QVD . SICVD . HIC . PONOR— PONIT . 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. F., appear in the 
 apparels of the cope. 
 
 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. 
 
 1436. 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 Eedemptor meus vivit," &c, the word " Credo" 
 being placed upon the morse. The finial of the canopy is

 formed by a figure of the pelican in her piety, with a 
 scroll bearing the truly appropriate legend, sic . christys .

 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, Upw T ell church, Norfolk. The cope is 
 here represented as being worn with the amice and alb, 
 and it displays the adjustment of the stole e . 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. Bobert 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. 
 The morse bears a rose en soleil. Another brass, closely

 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 s. 
 
 SEMI-EFFIGY IN A COPE, &c. 
 
 1465. Thomas Cod, vicar, St. Margaret's church, Eochester.

 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 \

 is here habited in the chesuble. 
 
 c. 1330. Floriated cross, with the head of an ecclesiastic, Chinnor 
 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.

 CROSS BRASSES WITHOUT ANY EFFIGY OR PART 
 OF AN EFFIGY 1 . 
 
 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 All Souls' College, Oxford™. 
 
 c. 1400. Head and base of a cross, Grrainthorpe church, Lincoln- 
 shire. This beautiful cross is represented as fixed upon a 
 rock rising out of the sea. 
 
 c. 1415. Cross to Eoger Cheyne, Esquire, Cassington church, 
 Oxfordshire 
 
 1425. Cross to Margaret Oliver, Eeddington 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.

 1347. Two compartments of the canopy, forming part of the 
 brass to Sir Hugh Hastings, Elsyng church, Norfolk. 
 
 The canopy to this grand brass (which is apparently 
 the work of a foreign artist) was originally composed of 
 four of these compartments on either side, each upper- 
 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

 The two compartments here figured severally represent, 
 beneath the most elegant tabernacle- work and upon rich 
 diapers, the effigies of Henry Plant agenet, earl of Lan- 
 caster, and Ealph Stafford, Lord Stafford. 
 
 c. 13G0. 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. 1365. Sir John Raven (?), Great Berkhampstead church, Hert-

 Museum a very valuable impression of 
 the Hastings brass, taken before it 
 had suffered much injury. A most im-

 brass, with MS. notes, is also in the 
 possession of a distinguished antiquary, 
 a friend of the author of this volume. 
 Waller, Carter, and Cotman, have

 1384. Sir John Harsyck, and Katherine his wife, Sonthacre 
 church, Norfolk. The knight's jupon is here emblazoned 
 with his armorial insignia. The same charge appears also 
 upon a shield, suspended from a crested and mantled 
 til ting-helmet : the crest is a bunch of turkey's feathers 
 rising from a hoop. Upon the kirtle of Lady Harsyck 
 appear the arms of Harsyck and Calthorpe impaled f. 
 These three brasses appear to have been produced by the 
 same artist. 
 
 c. 1380. A knight, probably a Cobham, Cliffe Pypard church, Wilt- 
 shire s. 
 
 c. 1385. John Cray, Esquire, Chinnor church, Oxfordshire. Both 
 the sword and the misericorde are, in this example, adjust- 
 ed after a fashion but rarely represented in brasses of this 
 class and period. Of the original inscription a part only 
 remains : cray . armiger . d5i . regis . richi . 2B1.

 1387. Sir Eobert de Grey, of Eotherfield, Eotherfield Grey's 
 church, Oxfordshire. 
 
 1387. Sir "William de Etchingham, Etchingham church, Sussex. 
 An inscription in the church records the knight, who is 
 commemorated by this fine brass, to have been a munifi- 
 cent benefactor to the sacred edifice. 
 
 1393. Sir Henry English and Margaret his wife, Wood Ditton 
 church, Cambridgeshire. 
 
 1395. Sir William de Bryene, Seal church, Kent. This is the 
 first example in the present series of brasses in which the 
 effigy of the deceased knight is represented with the head 
 resting on the tilting-helmet with its crest and mantling, 
 as on a pillow. The crest is a bugle-horn on a chapeau.

 The two shields bear Bryene or Bryan; and the same 
 impaling quarterly, 1 and 4, a lion rampant, 2 and 3,

 c. 1395. Sir . . . Dalyngrugge and lady, Retching church, Sussex. 
 
 The jupon of the knight bears his arms, or, a cross en- 
 grailed, gules. The canopy has a central shaft, an un- 
 common arrangement. In all these brasses the laces of 
 the camail are shewn on the bascinets . 
 
 1397. Sir John de Saint Quintin, and Lora his wife, Brandsburton 
 church, Yorkshire. The plate-armour in this most inter- 
 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- 
 ing super-tunic, which envelopes the entire person : her 
 head-gear is richly reticulated h . Of the original border- 
 legend the following words only remain : nonaoessimo .

 1398. Sir John Bettesthorne, Mere church, "Wilts. In this fine 
 effigy the bascinet is more acutely pointed than in the 
 preceding examples, and the camail-laces are covered. 
 The inscription is reversed j . 
 
 c. 1380. Sir Edward Cerne and Elyne his wife, Draycot-Cerne 
 church, "Wilts. The lady here appears habited as a 
 widow. 
 
 1394. Sir Bichard Attelese and Dionisia his wife, Sheldwich 
 church, Kent. 
 
 1389. Sir John Wingfield, Letheringham church, Suffolk. Upon 
 this knight's jupon are emblazoned his arms, — argent on a 
 bend, gules, between three cotises, sable, as many pairs 
 of wings, joined in leure, of the field. This brass is now 
 affixed to the wall, and its original inscription is lost : but

 Gough gives an inscription from a brass at Letheringham 
 which probably belongs to this effigy: it is in these 
 
 Words : HIC . IACET . DNS . JOHES . DE WYNGEFELD . MILES 
 
 qttonda. .d5s.de. letheringm. an. . . . There is also 
 in Gough an impression of a shield, bearing wingfield 
 impaling Hastings — Sir John having married Margaret, 
 daughter of Sir Hugh Hastings. This Sir John Wingfield 
 died 1389 k . 
 
 c. 1390. Sir Eobert Russel, Strensham church, Worcestershire 1 . 
 
 This brass and the three others last named appear to have 
 been produced by the same artist m . 
 
 1400. Sir George de Felbrigge, Play ford church, Suffolk . The 
 jupon is here charged with a lion rampant, for felbrigge. 
 Sir George was esquire at arms to King Edward III. A 
 few words only of the original border-legend now remain ; 
 and these have between each word a letter M and a demi- 
 rose conjoined 11 . 
 
 1401. Sir Nicholas Dagworth, Blickling church, Norfolk. This 
 noble brass exemplifies the practice of placing some orna- 
 mental device between each word of a border-legend, 
 which first appears about the commencement of the 
 fifteenth century. The jupon has its border deeply cut to 
 
 k See Gough' s Monuments, vol. ii.

 Manual, p. 51. 
 
 1 In the chancel at Strensham there 
 is also preserved the hrass of Sir John 
 Russel, father of this Sir Robert. 
 
 m There are several brasses which ap- 
 pear to have been also the work of this 
 same artist: viz., the brasses of Robert 
 Albyn and lady at Hemel Hempsted, 
 Kent, c. A.D. 1400, {Mon. Brasses and 
 Slabs, p. 57 ;) of Sir Reginald de Cob- 
 ham, Lingfield, Surrey, A.D. 1403, 
 (ibid., p. 60;) Sir John Wilcotes and 
 lady, Great Tew, Oxon, A D. 1410, 
 
 (engraved in this volume;) and of 
 Thomas and Robert Freville, Esquires, 
 both about A.D. 1405, at Little Shel- 
 ford, in Cambridgeshire ; (see a paper on 
 the Freville family by A. W. Franks, 
 Esq., published by the Cambridge Anti- 
 quarian Society.) 
 
 n This fine specimen, the next noble 
 memorial figured in this volume, and the 
 equally fine brasses to Sir John Bettes- 
 thorne at Mere, Wilts, and to Sir William 
 and Lady Bagot, at Baginton, in War- 
 wickshire, (figured in Mon. Brasses and 
 Slabs, p. 56,) bear evident marks of 
 having been produced by the same hand.

 Gloucestershire. / 
 
 1402. Sir William Efienlez, 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 Stourtons, 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 Eussel. The costume of the lady is also the same 
 with that worn by the Lady Isabel Eussel, 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 . apkilis .

 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 memorial^."

 c. 1405. Sir Thomas Massyngberd and lady, Gunby 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 Eeginald 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 collar of 
 SS. is worn by both the lady and the kuight s . In one of 
 the engravings the canopy is shewn in exactly its present 
 state.

 from the mixed armour of the camail period, to the adoption of

 interesting brass, the knight wears npon his bascinet an 
 orle of roses : his camail is partly covered by a gorget : 
 the jupon is not worn, bnt 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 y. 
 
 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 
 cuffs are very large 3 . 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.

 Felbrigg church, Norfolk b . (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 
 the heraldic insignia are not (as they afterwards were) re- 
 peated upon the sleeves.

 1425. Eobert Lord Ferrers of Chartley, and Margaret his wife, 
 Merevale 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. 
 
 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 . meeot. 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 . 
 
 1435. Roger Elinebrigge, Esquire, Bedington church, Surrey. 
 An important change in the gauntlets is here exempli- 
 fied. 
 
 1440. A knight or esquire of the Cuttes family, Arkesdon church, 
 Essex. In this brass, and in the examples which follow 
 next in succession, may be traced the gradual addition to

 the original suit of plate-armour, of various plates, for the 
 purpose of additional protection. 
 
 c. 1440. Sir "William Wadham, Ilminster churcli, Somersetshire f . 
 
 1441. Sir Hugh Halsham, and Joice his wife, West Grin- 
 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 : —

 shire. 
 
 1450. John Graynesford, Esquire, Crowhurst church, Surrey h . 
 
 1458. Sir Eobert Staunton, and Agnes his wife, Castle Doning- 
 ton church, Leicestershire. (Three plates.) In this ex- 
 ample the knight is represented as wearing a vizored 
 salade, having the vizor raised to display the countenance. 
 The armour is highly characteristic of the important 
 changes in defensive military appointments, which the 
 altered nature of offensive weapons brought gradually 
 
 The effigy of the knight only is here 
 given, as an example of plate- armour. 
 This brass comprises two figures, those 
 of Sir William Wadham and of his 
 mother, each beneath a triple canopy, 
 and the whole is surmounted by an em- 
 battled head canopy. Of the border- 
 legend the following words only remain, 
 
 SIMUL CUM WILLMO WADHAM FJLIO 
 
 EADEM QUE OBIIT .... DIE MENSIS . . . . 
 ANNO DNI . MILLIMO CCCC . . . . ET QUI 
 QUIDEM WILLIMUS .... At the foot

 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 : — 
 
 1 See Mon. Brasses and Slabs, p. 90. 
 
 j Dulcia, the wife of Sir Robert del 
 Bothe, was a Venables, a granddaughter, 
 probably, of the heiress of the Fittons of 
 Bolyn, who about A.D. 1370 married 
 
 a Venables, when the elder branch of 
 the Fittons of Bolyn became extinct. 
 This may account for the introduction 
 of the arms of Fitton into this brass.

 c. 1460. Bichard Quatremayns, 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 
 chamfer-inscription in slightly raised letters : —

 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 grene impaling eerrars, and 
 grene and mablethoep 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 
 follows : —

 At the head of the present series of brasses of this class, I have 
 placed the memorials of two judges and one sergeant, learned in the 
 law, which are severally preserved in the churches at Graveney in 
 Kent, Milton in Cambridgeshire, and Gosfield in Essex. 
 
 1436. John Martyn, a judge of the King's Bench, and Anna his 
 wife, Graveney church, Kent. This large and fine brass

 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 Grunby in Lincolnshire, Baldwin Bright- 
 well in Oxfordshire, Watford in Hertfordshire, Bray in Berkshire, 
 and in the church of St. Mary Kedcliffe at Bristol. Judge William 
 de Lodynton, in his fine brass at Grunby, wears an anlace beneath 
 his judicial robes. 
 
 i 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 horder-legend 
 yet remains : be died A.D. 1452. 
 
 n 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.

 1436. Thomas Bolf, Sergeant-at-law, G-osfield 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 
 Richard 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 
 form were used in the garments of the 
 other sex at this period; as inthehrassof 
 Nicholas de Aumberdene, at Taplow in 
 
 Buckinghamshire. See Mon. Brasses and 
 Slabs, p. 121 ; and the Oxford Manual, 
 p. lxxii. See also note k, at p. 84 of

 down the front of the figure, and worn over a close-fitting 
 tunic p. The skirt of the cote-hardi appears to be made 
 open at the sides, in order to display the tunic : there is 
 another example of this arrangement, at Ashford, also in 
 Kent. The head-dress is reticulated <*. 
 
 1372. Ismena de Wynston, Necton church, Norfolk. An ex- 
 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 wile, 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 inerchant 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 clo se 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 elos . mcator * lanar' 
 tocivs anolie, 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. 
 
 1404. John Eede, Checkendon church, Oxfordshire. 
 
 1414. Philippa Byschoppesdon, Broughton church, Oxfordshire. 
 The position of the four shields in this brass is very sin-

 gular. The head-dress is a fine example of that species of 
 coiffure denominated mitred or homed r . 
 
 1416. Thomas Stokes, Esquire, Elena his wife, and their children, 
 Ashby Ledgers chnrch, Northamptonshire. The effigy of 
 Thomas Stokes is here represented in civic attire, notwith- 
 standing that he is described as armiger. The upper 
 compartment of the canopy originally contained the em- 
 blematical representation of the Holy Trinity s ; 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 :

 * A shield of arms has been acci- 
 dentally omitted in the accompanying 
 
 engraving of this brass ; it is charged 
 with a fesse nebulee between three 
 crescents. A William Cbeyne, Es- 
 quire, who died A.D. 1441, was 
 buried in the church of the abbey of 
 St. Mary, in the Isle of Sheppey.

 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 Carew; Carew impaling 
 Delamere : and Carew impaling gules, three Catherine 
 wheels argent, for Eoet (?). Of this Nicholas Carew the 
 inscription records that senex et plenus dierum 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 dough, with the exception of a few words at the 
 commencement, as follows: -f domina jocosa

 daughter to Edward Charlton, (in the foregoing inscrip- 
 tion designated Caroli, domini Powes,) Lord Powys, who 
 married Eleanor, widow of Eoger 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 
 high 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. 3 
 
 1470. Christina, wife of Matthew Phelip, Heme 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 migravit 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 .

 church, York. The inscription in this example, as in 
 many others, is reversed, in consequence of the slab 
 being placed immediately adjoining the eastern extremity 
 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.

 of the brass of Sir John Bettesthorne at

 ing Latin on a plate, which yet remains, 
 besides the head of the canopy.
