THE MONUMENTAL BRASSES OF WARWICKSHIRE. 
109 
the two tuilles are fastened by straps to the cuirass and are 
scored to represent separate plates. The genouillieres are 
absurdly large and have cuspidate edges. 
The lady wears the kennel-shaped head-dress, a mantle 
fastened with a band across the chest, an under-dress with 
ornamental collar, and a loose twisted waistband with circular 
clasp and pendant ornament. 
Above the knight’s head is a shield bearing the arms of 
Throkmorton : Gu., on a chevron arg., three bars gemel, sa. 
Above the lady’s head is a shield with Throkmorton impaling 
Vaux. 
Beneath the knight are the effigies of 8 sons, and beneath 
the lady those of 11 daughters. Below the sons is a shield of 
four quarterings: 1 Throkmorton, 2 Olney, 3 Spiney, 4-. 
Upon the lady’s side is a shield, Throkmorton impaling 
Aberbury. 
Upon the sides of the tomb were four shields, two of 
which are lost, the two remaining bear the quarterings of all 
the families mentioned except Vaux. 
The following is the inscription :

Dugdale, who gives an illustration of this brass, states 
that the tomb was prepared in the knight’s lifetime, which 
accounts for the omission of the dates.

Denye. 1547. Haines. 
Upon a plate 20in. by 4Jin. between four evangelical 
symbols is this inscription :

with the arms of Throkmorton. The brass has been restored.
