Brass rubbing, in black heel-ball on white paper, John Wantele, 1424, bareheaded, in armour with tabard, now a mural in church at Amberley, Sussex, by Herbert Druitt
'Heraldic tabards occur in one or two instances, though it is long before they are general on brasses. An early form may be that on the brass of John Wantele, 1424, Amberley, Sussex, which shows a kind of loose vest embroidered with the wearer's arms and with tight short sleeves'.
