St Mary's Church, Hunstanton, Norfolk, monumental brass of Sir Roger L'Estrange (c.1446-1506), of Hunstanton Hall, lord of the manor of Hunstanton, atop his chest tomb. The effigy is flanked by two columns each of four smaller brass effigies of his ancestors, serving as weepers, each displaying his own arms on his tabard, in the style of the famous earlier monumental brass of Sir Hugh Hastings (died 1347), St Mary's Church, Elsing. He was an Esquire of the body to King Henry VIII and Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk. He was born in Pakenham, Suffolk, the eldest son of Henry le Strange (d.1485) by his wife Catherine Drury, a daughter of Roger Drury of Besthorpe. He married Amy (or Anne) Heydon (d.1509) a daughter of Henry Heydon (d.1503) of Baconsthorpe, by whom he had a son and heir, John, who dying under age, Robert L'Estrange his brother, was his heir (Source: jmc4 - Church Explorer [1]).

GenealogyBased on the inscription (and expanded by Blomefield) the ancestry of Sir Roger L'Estrange (c.1446-1506) is as follows:
In 1629 Nicholas L'Estrange of Hunstanton was created a baronet (see w:L'Estrange baronets), and dropped the bend for difference in his arms, reverting to the undifferenced arms of the senior line. (per Blomfield) HeraldryArms: Quarterly of 8 (see fuller image[7]):
