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) -

' Sir Roger de Trumpington's head rests on his tilting helm (a feature not shared by the other effigies). This is large and conical, and is made fast by a chain ti the girdle of the surcoat. At the apex is a staple, to which the cointisse - a silk scarf, originally worn over the armour, as a lady's favour, was attached. The shield and scabbard bear : - Azure, crusily and two trumps on pale or; which coat, with the addition of a label of five points, is seen on the ailettes. A dog, on which the feet rest, holds the bouterolle or chape of the scabbard in its mouth. The inscription, which no longer exists, was on a fillet of brass, on the edge of the altar tomb, which is surmounted by a canopy' (Source: A Manual of Costume as Illuistrated by Monumental Brasses, Herbert Druitt, pub.1906) -
