Description: | This fine monumental brass is in the chancel. The Victoria History of Hampshire, volume 4, 1911, p. 390 describes the brass, with "the figure of a knight in full plate armour with sword and dagger, under a rich canopy of three cinquefoiled arches with traceried and crocketed gables and crocketed pinnacles."
The four shields are described by the VCH: the first with the arms of Lisle; the second, a chevron between three martlets; the third, Lisle impaling Courtenay; the fourth, Lisle impaling a brass between three roses. The Latin text inscribed in brass around the edge is also given in the VCH.
The whole brass is 6 ft 6 ins high; the effigy itself 5 ft 1 in. high. The caption says that this is the earliest known example of complete plate armour. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Subjects: | sculpture St Peter and St Paul John Llisle John Lysle church armour brass plate armour monumental brass | Temporal: | start=1890-01-01; end=1910-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
