Fine artBrass rubbing / RubbingHMCMS:FA2010.161Brass rubbing, in black heel-ball on white paper, cut out and laid on to fabric, Sir William Fitzralph, c1323, in armour, cross-legged, with shield, canopy lost, church at Pebmarsh, Essex, by Herbert DruittVisit Page
' Bearing this same date, AD 1320, the 8th of Edward II, and preserved in the church of Pebmarsh, near Halstead in Essex, is the fifth and last remaining brass of this series: it commemorates a knight of the Fitzralph family; and, with a few trifling exceptions, it is in fine preservation. The arming and general equipment of this knight is precisely the same as I have already noticed in the Gorleston brass; with the exception of the ailettes, which are here omitted, and the mail which is interlaced chain-mail instead of the ring-mail. In this example also the arming of the legs and feet is completly expressed: it exhibits the jambarts continued from the ankles by lames, or small plates of steel, over the front of the feet, and thus forming the mixed sollerets of mail and plate. The surcoat is long and ample: the convex shield is apparanetly fringed, and its guige is broad and fastened over the hood by a buckle: the mail throughoput is admirably expressed: beneath the skirts of the hauberk appears the hauqueton, or quilted under garment, designed to protect the body from the pressure ofm its covering of reticulated steel: and bemneath the hauqueton are seen the gamboised cuisseaux. The genouilleres, with the several appointments of the sword, are elaborately enriched, and from the centre of the palettes small spikes project. At the feet of the knight reposes a dog' (Source: Monumental Brasses and Slabs, Rev. Charles Boutell, pub.1847) -

Fine artBrass rubbing / RubbingHMCMS:FA2010.154Brass rubbing, in black heel-ball on white paper, cut out and laid on to fabric, Margarete de Camoys, c1310, in kirtle, cote-hardie, wimple and veil, 9m shields on dress, single canopy, church at Trotton, Sussex, by Herbert DruittVisit Page
'...the earliest lady's brass of which I am aware is the brass at Trotton in Sussex, the remarkable memorial of Margaret, Lady Camoys, who died in the year 1310, the 3rd of Edward II, The wimple, that strange covering for the throat, chin and sides of the face, is here very distinctly shewn; and it is adjusted, after a fashion prevalent in the earlier part of the Edwardian era, in such a manner as to impart a triangular outline to the features. A single curl of hair appears on either side of the forehead, which is encircled by a narrow enriched fillet: and upon the head and falling gracefully upon the shoulders is a coverchef. The remainder of the costume, with the exception of its heraldic decorations, is of the simplest character, but is expressed with great vigour and effectiveness. A super-tunic envelops the entire person; it has no waist-cincture, and its sleeves are loose, and terminate somewhat below the elbow, thus displaying the kirtle worn beneath no more thasn the tight sleeves; the clasped and upward lifted hands are bare. Originally, nine small shields of arms wer attached to the front of the figure upon the tunic but these have now been abstracted, and that at a very recent period. A fine pedimental canopy with slender side shafts and pinnacles, eight shields of armas, the border fillets with the letters of the legendwhich they enclosed, and a profusion of small stars and other ornaments with which it was once semee, have in like manner but at a more distant period been abstracted from the marble slab' (Source: Monumental Brasses and Slabs, Rev.Charles Boutell, pub.1847) -
