 | English Armour c.1478 Ref: D11-15
Another armour in the English style, this one based on the tomb effigy of Sir John Carent in St. Gregory's church, Marnhull, Dorset. The pauldrons (shoulders) are the most obvious feature that makes this armour distinctive from other, similar, tomb effigies, with their re-enforcing plates showing Italian influence, but embellished with the English style's fluting. Reproduced on good quality heavyweight paper from a pencil drawing by Graham Turner.Overall print size A3 - 11.5"x 16.5" (30cm x 42cm) - image size approximately 8"x 13" (20cm x 33cm)click on image to enlarge

 | English Armour c.1482 Ref: D5-15
A very distinctive English armour based primarily on the tomb effigy of Sir John Savile, at Thornhill in Yorkshire. Sir John died in 1482 and his armour shows many of the characteristics of other English armours of the period, but with subtle differences in details such as the fluting and cusping, especially on the pauldrons (shoulders). He wears a Yorkist livery collar of suns and roses, showing his allegiance and standing with the Yorkist King Edward IV.Reproduced on good quality heavyweight paper from a pencil drawing by Graham Turner.Overall print size A3 - 11.5"x 16.5" (30cm x 42cm) - image size approximately 10"x 14" (25cm x 35cm)click on image to enlarge

 | English Armour c.1475 Ref: D12
Based on the tomb effigy of Sir William Ryther at All Saints church in Ryther, Yorkshire. This is typical of English armours of c.1475, with the distinctive cusped edges and some fluted surfaces, but closer examination reveals many subtle differences to other, similar tomb effigies that make this a very individual armour. Reproduced on good quality heavyweight paper from a pencil drawing by Graham Turner.Overall print size A3 - 11.5"x 16.5" (30cm x 42cm) - image size approximately 6"x 13" (16cm x 34cm)click on image to enlarge

 | English Knight c.1480 Ref: D4-15
English knight c.1480, based on the tomb effigies at All Saints Church, Herstmonceux, Sussex (see below right). This is an Italian export armour, basically following Italian forms, but adapted to suit the taste and fashions of its English owner. The effigies wear tabards, so Graham has recreated the appearance of the cuirass incorporating design elements from the rest of the harness; the distinctive fleur-de-lys from the demi-greave is repeated at the top of the plackart, which also incorporates some flutes, reflecting those that can be seen on the tassets - both features that appear on other armours of the period. The salet is topped with a gilded ball, as depicted in the well known Beauchamp Pageant, which is contemporary with the effigies.  Reproduced on good quality heavyweight paper from a pencil drawing by Graham Turner.Overall print size A3 - 11.5"x 16.5" (30cm x 42cm) - image size approximately 7"x 14" (18cm x 35cm)click on image to enlarge

 | English Armour c.1434 Ref: D6-15
English knight c.1434, based on the tomb effigy of John Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel, in the Fitzalan Chapel, Arundel. It exhibits many characteristics of English armour from this period, such as the great bascinet helmet and deep fauld protecting the loins with small tassets suspended from the lowest lame. Armours of this syle would have seen action during the later stages of the 100 Years War.Reproduced on good quality heavyweight paper from a pencil drawing by Graham Turner.Overall print size A3 - 11.5"x 16.5" (30cm x 42cm) - image size approximately 10"x 14" (25cm x 35cm)click on image to enlarge

 | Thomas Montagu, Earl of Salisbury c.1415 Ref: D7-15
English armour from the time of the battle of Agincourt, showing the latest style of great bascinet, with plate defences for the throat and neck rather than the mail aventail of the 14th century bascinet. While offering greater protection, the great bascinet restricted any movement of the head, and both styles would be seen on the battlefields of the early 15th century.The armour is primarily based on the tomb effigy of Ralph Greene, at Lowick church, Northamptonshire (died 1417), and the very similar effigy of John de Vere, Earl of Oxford.The surcoat displays the heraldry of Thomas Montagu, Earl of Salisbury.Reproduced on good quality heavyweight paper from a pencil drawing by Graham Turner.Overall print size A3 - 11.5"x 16.5" (30cm x 42cm) - image size approximately 10"x 14" (25cm x 35cm)click on image to enlarge
