Freshwater, All Saints Church Photo, Adam de Compton brass, late 14th century
(Link)
One of the most fascinating historical features is one about which we know very little. Set on the east wall of the north aisle is a beautifully preserved memorial brass of a knight, clad in armour that suggests a date in the reign of Richard II, that is, sometime in the last few decades of the 14th century.
We do not know who the knight may be, but one possibility is Adam de Compton.
