Scene Description: 13thC brass -- description quoted from the Victoria County History entry for this church (Surrey, vol. 2, 457-462): "In the chancel floor is a large slab, some 8 ft. long, of blue-grey marble. The margin is inscribed in sunk Lombardic capitals: 'Sire Johan Daubernovn chivaler gist icy Dev de sa Alme eyt mercy.' Let into the slab is a life-size brass of a knight in armour, the earliest now known in England; it dates from 1277. He is shown wearing a coif and camail of chain mail, the former strapped over the forehead. The hawberk reaches about two-thirds down the thigh, and the sleeves are corded at the wrists and terminate in mail mittens. The legs are encased in mail chausses fastened to kneecops of cuir bouilli which are ornamented with rosettes and an engrailed border. The mail is then continued as a thigh covering. There are no visible traces of a gambeson, though some such garment would certainly be worn. The surcoat is very ample and open in front from a little below the waist. The edge of this opening and the skirts, which reach to the bottom of the calf, are fringed. At the waist is a narrow plaited girdle. The sword is large, about 4 ft. long. The hilt has a large circular flat pommel, a corded grip, and short heavy quillons curving slightly downwards. The scabbard is tipped with metal and brought up into an obtuse V clasping the guard on either side. The sword-belt is broad and fairly plain, being merely ornamented with a stitched border and punched work at the buckle-holes. The frog is elaborately arranged to cant the sword at a slight angle, and the whole belt passes diagonally round the hips. The shield is small and heater-shaped and bears: azure a cheveron or, the field being enamelled. The cheveron is drawn very narrow and is carried up to the top of the shield. The shield, resting on the left arm, is slung over the right shoulder by a broad belt ornamented with a rose and swastica and having a broad buckle. In the crook of the right arm is a lance some 6 ft. long, without grip or vamplate, and with a small fringed pennon bearing a cheveron. Plain prick spurs are worn with a rather thin strap. The hands are joined in prayer, and the feet rest upon a lion which bites the butt of the lance."

Scene Description: caption taken from Mike Searle's photograph in Geograph [www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4213420] [accessed 1 October 2015]: "Along the east wall of the Norbury Chapel is the reclining figure of Sarah Vincent (nee Paulet), the daughter-in-law of Sir Thomas & Lady Jane Vincent. Her husband Sir Francis Vincent (the first Baronet) is absent because he married again after her death in 1608. However, their five sons and two daughters are depicted as miniature figures along the monument's plinth."

Scene Description: caption taken from Mike Searle's photograph in Geograph [www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4213437] [accessed 1 October 2015]: "Sir John Norbury (†1521) for reasons unknown is depicted as a knight in the armour of the time when the monument was commissioned, a century or more after his death. His original monument was probably damaged and then subsequently demolished after the anti-Catholic purges of the Elizabethan era."
