Summary

Description
English: South Acre Church, Norfolk, 1384 monumental brass of Sir John Harsyck and his wife Katherine Calthorpe, daughter and sole heiress of Sir Bartholomew Calthorpe of Gestingthorpe, Essex, by his wife Elizabeth de Gestingthorpe, daughter and heiress of Sir John de Gestingthorpe. On his tabard and on a shield above and on the sinister half of his wife's robe are shown the arms of Harsick: Or, a chief indented sable. The dexter side of of his wife's robe displays A maunch, the arms of Gestingthorpe (Ermine, a maunch gules) (Papwoth, John Woody, Alphabetical Dictionary of Coats of Arms Belonging to Families in Great Britain and Ireland, Vol.II, London, 1874, p.977), apparently adopted by Calthorpe. (Note: apparently an error by the brass-maker (Boutell's drawing correctly shows actual positions) as the husband's arms are always shown on the dexter side, the wife's on the sinister). On his helm above is the crest of Harsick: A plume of Turkey feathers in a hoop. Latin inscription on ledger line, starting at top: Hic jacet D(omi)n(u)s Joh(ann)es H... tercius qui obiit secundo die Septembris Anno Domini millensimo CCC LXXXIIII cuius animae propitietur deus amen. Et Domina Katerina uxor (eius) .... ("Here lies Sir John H(arsyck) the third, who died on the second day of September in the year of our Lord the one thousandth three hundredth and eighty fourth, upon whose soul may God look with favour. And to Lady Katherine, his wife ....."). Text per Farrer, Church Heraldry of Norfolk, pp.92-3[1]: Above the knight's head, on a shield  : A chief indented (Harsick, Or, a chief indented sable) On the knight's armour: Harsick. On the lady's dress : Harsick and A maunch (Calthorpe, Ermine, a maunch gules.) Crest : A plume of Turkey feathers in a hoop.
