These brasses are located in Hildersham, Cambridgeshire, Great Britain. Not much is know about the couple. No records are available indicating that he held any kind local office. He is standing on a lion and wears plate armor from which the mail elements, still visible on brasses at the turn of the fourteenth century, have been eliminated. The pauldrons or shoulder pieces were made of laminated plates sliding under each other on rivets with circular besagews to protect the armpits. The breast and backplates are continued by a skirt of lames of steel laminated and fixed to a leather skirt.
His wife Margery wears a gown with long sleeves, sleeved kirtle and a mantle clasped.
Each rubbing measures approximately 10 by 20 inches and will arrive ready for mounting and framing.
