Summary

Description
English: Monumental brass, laid down in 1320, St Mary Magdalene's Church, Cobham, Kent, of Joan Septvans (Died 1298), wife of John de Cobham (d.1300) of Cobham and of Cowling (Cooling Castle), Kent, and mother of Henry de Cobham, 1st Baron Cobham (c.1260-1339). Daughter of Sir Robert Septvans of Chartham. Text from: Belcher, William Douglas, Kentish Brasses, Vol.1, 1881, no.59, p.31:
This is one of the earliest known specimens of a canopy, and there is only one other brass of a lady earlier, that of Lady-de-Camoys, Trotton, Sussex. The canopy rises from slender shafts, terminating in pinnacles, and is crocketed and crowned with a finial ; beneath it is cusped in a large and bold trefoil having the spandrels foliated. The inscription, which is in Longobardic letters, (in Leonine verse) runs thus:

Dame Jone de Kobeham gist isi,

Deus de sa alme eit merci.

Ki ke pur le alme priera,

Quaraunte jours de pardoun auera.

("Dame Jone de Cobham lies here, may God have mercy on her soul. Whosoever shall pray for her soul shall have forty days of pardon")
