The wife was probably buried elsewhere. (Compare the 
Aston brass.) 
There is no monumental brass at Halford, as stated by 
Haines. In the chancel, however, is a stone incised with the 
figures of a cross and chalice. 
HAMPTON - IN - ARDEN.— A civilian, c. 1500. 
Haines. 
In the nave of the church lies an effigy, 14in. high, of a 
man in civil costume. The tombstone in which it is inlaid 
has matrices for a woman's effigy and an inscription, both of 
which are lost. 
The man has long hair, and w r ears a gown with wide 
sleeves, edged with minever at the neck and cuffs. The 
collar and sleeves of an under garment are visible. From 
the left side of the civilian’s girdle hangs a yyyciere or pouch, 
and from the right a rosary. 
It is doubtful whom the brass represents. Dugdale 
records a brass to “ Kicandus Brokes baliuus de Hampton 
in Ardene et Isotauxorejus.” Haines refers to the “Gentle¬ 
man’s Magazine,” 1795, Part II., p. 988, where the following 
inscription is printed :—
