Elizabeth Goddard, c.1591

Rousham, Oxfordshire, originally uploaded by Oxfordshire Church Illustrations.

Originally housed in the Steeple Ashton Church, removed in 1851 to Rousham, Oxfordshire.

Interesting hood configuration. This one gives me a bit of a theory. First layer of black coif, second layer of billement with flap attached at very top. It's this flap that is folded back on the top of the head.
