Sir Thomas Boleyn's brass is located in Hever, Kent, Great Britain. Sir Thomas was the father of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII and grandfather to Elizabeth I. He is depicted in this brass as wearing full Garter robes and regalia comprising the coronet, a collar of Tudor roses, the badge of the order on his left shoulder, and the garter itself, below the left knee. Sir Thomas became very powerful during the reign of the Tudors. He married Elizabeth Howard, daughter of the Duke of Norfolk, with royal blood. At various times, his wife, daughter Mary (who had an illegitimate child by Henry VIII), and daughter Anne, were all mistresses of the Henry VIII, with Anne continuing on to become Queen.

Sir Thomas measures approximately 15 by 35 inches. He has been made with gold heelball on black paper produced specifically for brass rubbing. He will arrive ready for mounting and framing
