Brass rubbing, in black heel-ball, on white paper, John de Campeden, 1382, warden of St Cross Hospital, Canon of Southwell, in cope, with inscription at feet and marginal, text from Job XIX, 25-27, shields of Passion and Trinity, church of St Cross, Winchester, Hampshire, by Herbert Druitt, 16 August 1899
' This is a splendid brass on the floor of the sacrarium immediately in front of the altar, moved there for preservation, originally under the lower arch of the tower. John de Campeden (or Camden) was Master of the Hospital and did much to repairing the church. He was a friend of William of Wykeham. The Hospital of St Cross founded by Henry de Blois, brother of King Stephen in 1136. The second founder Cardinal Beaufort the immediate successor of Wykeham...The brass consists of full length figure vested in surplice, stole and cope, the latter with very fine orphreys of roses and leopard heads. On two shields at the head are, to the left, a cipher of the Trinity, to the right the emblems of the Passion. Round the neck of the figure is a supplicatory inscription. His name is on an inscription at the base. Round the whole is a long inscription at each corner of which is a sign of an evangelist. Notise tassels (?) or perhaps only folds of cope. The pattern on the orphreys is deeply engraved so that some lines round the rosettes and heads acting as groundwork do not appear in the rubbing ' (Source: Herbert Druitt Catalogue of Brass Rubbings, 1899)
