Effigy in Temple Church, London is in Monumental Effigies of Great Britain.

THIS figure must remain unappropriated. It is sculptured in a remarkably fine style. The hands are crossed upon the breast, probably with the same design that the legs of other effigies of this class are placed in a similar position, to indicate their militant profession of the cross. The knight is habited in chain mail, and has a long surcoat of plain drapery, the folds of which are remarkably well understood. The sword depends, as in the effigy of De Mandeville, from the right side.

Details. The head with the chapelle de fer. The ornaments upon the belt.
