Brass Rubbing: Sir John de Wyngefeld

From Bontell: Upon this knight's jupon are emblazoned his arms,—argent on a bend, gules, between three cotises, sable, as many pairs of wings, joined in leure, of the field. This brass is now affixed to the wall, and its original inscription is lost: but Gough gives an inscription from a brass at Letheringham which probably belongs to this effigy: it is in these words:—HIC. IACET. DNS. JOHES. DE WYNGEFELD. MILES. QUONDA. DNS. DE LETHERINGM. AN.... There is also in Gough an impression of a shield, bearing WINGFIELD impaling HASTINGS—Sir John having marries Margaret, daughter of Sir Hugh Hastings. This Sir John Wingfield died 1389.
