Julian(a) Fowler, c. 1570's

There is a plaque accompanying this brass, which has the date as MDMVXXVY, which doesn't make sense. But I am guessing 1570's.

Elizabeth Goddard, c.1591

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.

I'd like to say a big thank you to Oliver who actually offered to go and take a photo of the full monument for me. It was very generous of him and much appreciated.

Dorothie Haddon, 1584

Bakewell, Derbyshire

Lovely definition in this photo. Great angle of the headwear. I think I am developing a theory about this type of headdress.

John and Jane Blacknall, c.1625

Abingdon St Nicholas, Oxfordshire "Old Berkshire"

Word of caution on the colours in this monument - most likely repainted during the Victorian period. Can be noticed on the hoods.

From the Comments:

I have spent time in many english cathedrals and churches, and I would guess that this would date from around 1615, the clothing and construction style is identical to an effigy in Gloucester Cathedral of Thomas and Christian Machen A.D. 1614-1615.

Update: Eric has been kind enough to look up the information on this one for me and says:

"I have consulted Pevsner. He says that John Blacknall died in 1625."

All that remains of the earlier church in Nuneham are the effigies of Anthony (died 1577) and Philippa Pollard (died 1606) which are placed in a shelter in the churchyard.
