Comments |
His head rests on a Moor's-head helm supported by two charming boy-angels, whilst his feet rest on a semi-reclining Saracen
The alabaster effigy wears a helm with a camail that was said to have been orginaly of silver and blue enamel. The Jupon was richly guilt with small plaques of enamel set in the girdles. The effigy is one of the few early garter knights who show the garter in the effigy. Beneath his head is a Saracens head, and is probably a family crest. The church was restored nearly a hundred years later and the tomb had the heraldry around the tomb added.
