Description: Monumental brass of Margaret, Lady Camoys (d.1310), set in the floor of St George's Church in Trotton, West Sussex. Inscription in Longobardic capitals: MARGARETE DE CAMOYS GIST ICI DEUS DE SA ALME EIT MERCI AMEN (Boutell, Charles, Monumental Brasses and Slabs: An Historical and Descriptive Notice of the ..., p.81[1], with drawing). ("Margaret de Camoys lies here. May God have mercy on her soul [âme], Amen") This is the earliest surviving brass of a female figure in England (Macklin, Herbert Walter & Page-Phillips, John, (Eds.), 1969, p.68[2]). She wears around her neck a wimple (or gorget) which hides the chin and sides of the face. This style of dress continued in fashion until the end of the reign of King Edward III (1327-1377)(p.69)
