* This Brass is cited in Haines's Manual among examples of peculiarities 

 of military costume in the 15th centmy. 



f The inscription records that John Mohun and his wife died, in Sep- 

 tember 1508, " intra viginti quatuor lioras ex i^Jirmitaf vocaf Sudore." 



\ This Brass is mentioned by Haines among instances corroborative of his 

 statement that " A few brasses of this date are occasionally to be met with 

 which are engraved by provincial artists, and are little better than miserable 

 caricatiu'es of the deceased." 



II This is one of the instances cited by Haines, in which "the elder 

 children are sometimes represented in the proper costume of their profession, 

 as ecclesiastics, &c. ; and he mentions that Edward, son of Eoger Kyngdon, 

 bears the badge of a Crown-Keeper, or Yeoman of the Crown — a crown on 

 the left shoulder. The costume of another son of Eoger Kyngdon is men- 

 tioned in the same work among the " Varieties of Processional Dresses," and 

 in illustration of statements that " the surplice and almuce were very 

 frequently worn without the cope," and that "Perhaps the omission of the 

 cope was optional, and at particular seasons it might have been customary 

 not to wear it."
