Brass rubbing, in black heel-ball, on white paper, Sir Roger de Trumpington, a Crusader in 1270, died 1289, in armour with large shield, marginal inscription lost, altar tomb, north chapel, church at Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, by Herbert Druitt, 1876-1943
' 1289. Sir Roger de Trumpington's head rests on his tilting helm ( a feature not shared by other effigies). This is large and conical, and is made fast by a chain to 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 in 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 bouiterolle 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'.
