246 SEPULCHRAL BRASSES.

Between the two knights is a large stone with heraldic bear- ings, and the following legend in small Roman character : — MARI^ FILl^ KT HEREDI UNICE GEORGII BLENERHAISET ARMIGERI FILII PRIMOGENITI THOM^ BLENERHAISET MILITIS INAURATI NUPT^ PRIMO THOM^ CULPEPER ARMIGERO QUI HIC : POSTEA FRANCISCO BACON ARMI- GERO QUI PETISTRI^ IN COMITAT: SUFF: TUMULATUR SINE p'lE DE- FUNCTS XVIJ SEPTEMB 1587, ^TATIS SUJE 70.

Jnst below these, and partly under the communion- table, is a large stone, from which a small male figm^e has been removed. A female figure remains, but it is imperfect and loose. It has the pedimental head-dress, the head rest- ing on a square cushion : the dress is long-waisted, the sleeves are tight, terminating in cuffs which cover the hand ; a rich girdle which passes just over the hips supports an aidmoniere and a rosary. The legend is as follows : — l^cavc tinticr lycti) CTiforgc links: lEsqnmt tolio manjcti ^unc tlje tiatogl)tcr of Srr tfjom^ Ijicncrljaysctt fenngljt tl)c tul)i2t{)£ Scorgc toijcti tl)e xxb tJayc of 3iuli} En tfjc ycavc Si ouvc lortle goB ^. jm"©®®®©.!! fcol^ose Sotole Cliotf pavDon. ?lmcn. Anne Duke subsequently married Peter Rede, Esq. ; she survived him nine years, and was buried in St. Margaret's church, Norwich, where her effigy appears on an altar-tomb on the north side of the chancel with the following legends : — Ijcrc bnticr lictf) buricD ij'^ boti) of ■?lnnc IRcBc tie ©aug^ta- of S ZlTibomas 'i3Uner= l)aisct l i)gl)t anU first ije lioifc of C~«covgc Uulic late of Brampton CEsquBCV ^ tl)e' after ]f toyfc of ^pctcr IRcDe of (!r.iimv)ngl)am Cfsqupcr y^ to' "aune JDcpaitctJ gs i^fe ye ii3j tiai} of Uprill in ijcre froi« (iCI)ri5tcs incarnation 1577. She is represented, not as a widow, but with the French hood ; a small ruff appears round her neck, and little frilled wrist-bands under her sleeves, which fit closely to the arms, and are tied with a number of small bows of riband': they are also padded and high-shouldered, according to an un- graceful fashion of the times of Elizabeth ; and in front, as if appended to her girdle, a})pears an oval ornament of rather 'i Blomef.
