Cardynham : Thomas Awmarle, rector, c. 1400. Mr. Hare states that the

 " have died about 1401, his successor being appointed the 23rd March 

 " ensuing." *

* In Haines's Manual of Monumental Brasses this Brass is mentioned 

 among a few "in which the clerical character is apparently relinquished"; 

 and it is added : "Thomas Awmarle, rector, c. 1400, at Cardynham, Corn- 

 " wall, had his brass laid down in his lifetime ; the figure has the tonsure, 

 "but the costume is that of a civilian, with a short sword suspended at the 

 " side. By the 2nd Constitutions of Abps. Stratford and Bourchier, 1343, 

 " 1463, the clergy were restricted from wearing gilt or highly ornamented 

 " swords and purses at their girdles."- — Again, Haines refers to the inscrip- 

 tion on this brass as containing a peculiar invitation to pray for the soul of 

 the deceased: ^^ Bogo vos fratres orate pro me et ego pro vobis in quantum 

 possum." \ 



f Haines states that this brass was engraved c. 1630, and he mentions 

 it with others when speaking of examples which shew that costume is not 

 alvvrays a sure indication of date. "In the beautiful brass at Little Horkesley, 

 " Essex, of Sir Thomas Swynborne, 1391, and his son Sir Eobert, 1412, the 

 " father is represented in a suit of armour which he might actually have worn, 

 " although the brass was engraved at his son's death. Similar instances are 

 " at St. Columb Major, Cornwall, 1602 and 1633 ; Lambourn, Berks, 1372 and 

 " c. 1410. In these three monuments, which were placed by children to their 

 " parents, there is a manifest propriety in the alteration of the costume ; but 

 " there are some brasses in which a much earlier costume than that worn by 

 "the deceased is adopted without any apparent reason." 



+ This military brass is one of those mentioned by Haines, in illustration 

 of his remark that : " About the commencement of the reign of Charles the 

 "First the tassets were either obtusely pointed or else worn longer and the 

 " genouillieres united to tliem ; cuisses and jambs were disused, and the legs 

 " protected by heavy jack-boots, with tops, spurs, and spur-leathers ; the 

 " hair was worn long, and plain collars and wrist-bands superseded the ruffs 

 "and frills."
