Summary[edit]

Description
English: Fig. 23.—Brass of Sir John D'Aubernoun (d. circa 1325) at Stoke D'Abernon. Arms: Azure, a chevron or. (From a rubbing by Walter J. Kaye). "In front of the altar rails lie the famous brasses of the two Sires John D’Abernon, the elder and the younger. Contrary to oft-repeated claims that the brass of Sir John the Elder is the oldest in England, the brasses actually date from about 1325 and 1350 respectively. The great brass of Sir John the Elder is, nevertheless, unique in showing a knight holding a lance as well as a sword, very rare indeed in possessing original enamel in the shield, and of workmanship such that, if not the oldest brass in England, it can rightly claim to be the finest military brass in existence."
