Lost brass to Sir Robert Ashton, d. 1392, St. Mary de Castro, Dover
Drawing: London, Society of Antiquaries MS 497A. f. 155
The way the head is positioned high under the canopy arch and the position of the sword on these two examples are also paralleled on the lost 1384 brass once in St. Mary de Castro, Dover Castle to Sir Robert Ashton, governor of Dover Castle, known only from a seventeenth-century drawing by Dering (Fig. 7). By the standards of antiquarian drawings, it is of high quality, with many of the hallmarks of Series C work, including the elaborate bottom to the jupon and the splayed feet, being immediately apparent.

London, Society of Antiquaries, MS 497A (Original notes and drawings made by or for Sir Edward Dering of monuments and arms in churches in Kent, 1628-34), f. 55. I am grateful to Nigel Saul for bringing this example to my attention.
