arms of Swynborne: Gules, crusily of crosses botonny and three boars' heads couped, Argent
A red field is scattered with crosses with three knobs on each limb, with three silver boars' heads cut off and ragged. This may be a canting blazon since boars are "swine."

Beyond the wooden effigies is the principal Swynboume memorial. Set in a marble slab is the very fine brass of two Knights which, despite severe damage suffered in the war, remain an outstanding example of its kind. The old French inscription, before it was damaged, read "icy gist Mons Robert Swynbourne Seignour de Horkesley petite Qe morust Ie jour de seinte ffeys lan du grace miII'ccc quatvintz unzieme de qy alme Amen. Icy gist Mons. Thomas Swynbourne, fils du dit Monsr. Robt. S' de Hammys, Mair de Bordeaux et capitaigne de ffronsac. Qe morust en Ia veile de Seint Laurence I'an du gce millsccccxii del alme de qy dieu eyt pitee et mercye. Amen. Amen." (Here lieth Sir Robert Swynbourne, Lord of Little Horkesley, who died upon the day of S. Faith in the year of grace 1391. Upon whose soul may God have mercy. Here also Iieth Sir Thomas Swynbourne, son of the said Sir Robert, Lord of Hames, Mayor of Bordeaux and Captain of Fronsac, who died upon the eve of S. Lawrence in the year of grace 1412. Upon whose soul may God have pity and mercy. Amen. Amen.) Note the difference in the armour of these two effigies which reflect the changing fashion of the times. On the left lies Sir Robert dressed in a hauberk of mail with a tightly fitting jupon, and on the head a pointed bascinet to which is fastened the interlaced mail to protect the throat and shoulders. The feet rest on a couched lion, and are covered with jointed plates to which a spur is fastened. A belt with the monogram RS, fastened across the hips, supports a sword and misericorde (dagger of mercy). Sir Thomas lies on the right. The body is covered with plate armour, a breast plate with a skirt of six layers. On the head is a pointed bascinet, but the throat and shoulders are protected, not by mail, but by a gorget. A collar surrounds the throat with the letter S inscribed all around it, terminating in front with a double buckle from which hangs a large ring. Circular plates with the Cross of St. George protect the armpits. The hands, in an attitude of prayer, are covered by jointed gauntlets with cuffs of three pieces. A narrow belt, suspended from the right hip, supports a sword with decorated scabbard and a dagger is fastened to the right. Around the figures are two triple canopies on piers, parts of which were severely damaged and lost. Originally six shields hung on the piers, three on each side depicting the arms and branches of the Swynboume family, namely, top left Swynboume, Gernon, Swynboume (Yorkshire branch); Top right, Calverley (of York), Lisle, and Peche (or Fitzwalter). Although little is known about Sir Robert Swynbourne, records show that his son, Sir Thomas, after service in France, made a long tour of the Middle East. He left France in 1392 for Venice. From there he sailed on to Alexandria, travelling on to Cairo and Mount Sinai, and then to Jerusalem, Jericho, Nazareth and Damascus. The Swynbourne family itself, and through its female line, the Ffyndernes, held the manor of Little Horkesley from the deaths of the last of the de Horkesley family in 1332 until 1617, when the manor and estate were sold by the last member of the family, Sir John Wentworth.

From the catalogue, An Exhibition of Medieval Brass Rubbings by Kathleen H. Cairns. "Sir Reginald Braybrook, 1405, second husband of Lady Joan de Cobham, heir of the founder of the Cobham family. In mixed plate and camail armour. Camail is chain mail worn to protect the head and neck. Braybrook died in Middleburg in Flanders. The single canopy is surmounted by the Holy Trinity. Notice the Holy Spirit, the Dove, not sitting on the Cross but flying, proceeding from the Father and the Son. His sons Reginald and Robert are on two pedestals.
INSCRIPTION: Here lies Sir Reginald Braybrook, Knight, son of Gerald Braybrook, Knight and husband of Dame Joan, Lady de Cobham, Daughter of John de Cobham, Founder of the college. He, Reginald, died at Middleburgh in Flanders on the 20th day at of the month of September A.D. 1405. May God have mercy on his soul Amen. Amen."

Norris, Craft, p. 115, suggests that since the inscription refers to Dame Joan
Cobham as heir to John de Cobham, founder, and since Sir John did not die until 1408,
the inscription must have been placed later. The brass, then, was probably engraved
