 In the Nevill vault is buried George, Lord Bergavenny, ob. 1536, who married firstly, Joan, daughter of Thomas Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel, and secondly, Mary, daughter of the Duke of Buckingham. Lord Bergavenny was a distinguished soldier, who fought in Cornwall under Henry VII, and in France under Henry VIII. He had sons (a) Henry, Lord Bergavenny, ob. 1586, also buried in the vault, and (b) Edward, friend and companion of Henry VIII, a great jouster, who tilted at Greenwich in 1511, as Joyeux Penser, and figures in the Heralds Coll. Tournament Roll; he also took part in the great tournaments in Paris in 1515, and at the Field of the Cloth of Gold; he lived at Addington, near by; beheaded 1538. Cf. "Arch. Cant.," xxxii, p. 317; Fielding, "Memories of Malling," p. 126. BRABOURNE. 1. The skull-piece is reputed to be part of a bascinet, with a plate added at the back. The piece above the buffe appears to resemble a reinforcing chin-piece. The buffe is that of a tilting helm of about 1510, crested, an eagle's head (Fig. 1647). 2. The skull-piece of a tilting helm of about 1510 (Fig. 1648). Tradition. Both helmets are associated with the Scott family of Scott's Hall. 1646a. 1646b. In the chancel are six brasses, 1433-1527, commemorating members of the Scott family, and in the Scott chapel are eight mural tablets to the same family. Weever notes "from this family John Gower the poet was descended" ("Funeral Monuments," 1631, p. 270). Arms. ''Arg. three Catherine wheels sa. a bordure engr. gu.'' (Scott.) Crest. ''A demi griffin segreant sa. beaked and legged or.''
