Etchingham - The Assumption and St Nicholas

Brasses:

1. (In front of altar) Sir William de Echingham. His headless, armoured effigy lacks its canopy. A curved inscription in Latin, records the rebuilding of the church and a moralising one at his feet in Norman-French (a late use) gives the time of his death as midnight on 18 January 1387 (1388 by modern reckoning). The brass is given to Series B (see London workshops) and the lettering has similarities with contemporary royal tombs at Westminster and Canterbury (Badham: Cast Effigies, p121).

2. (In floor) Sir William de Echingham (d1412), his wife and son, Sir Thomas (d1444) - triple effigies with canopy and shields. Woodman (p21) first noted a similarity to a triple brass of 1441 at West Grinstead, West Sussex, so it probably dates from after the death of Sir Thomas. Both also belong to Series B.
