EASEBOURNE. 

[Communicated by Mr. W. H. Fenton, J.P.]

Helmet, XVIth century, gilded.

Tradition. Traditionally associated with the funeral of Sir Anthony Browne, 1st Viscount Montague, ob. 1592, removed in the XIXth century from the vault of the family in Midhurst church. In "Sussex Arch. Coll.," viii, p. 315, it is recorded that at an exhibition at Chichester in 1853 there was shown a helmet which had been formerly suspended "over the tomb of the first Lord Montague, ob. 1592, in Cowdray Church," and which had been "thrust aside during the restoration of the church." In vols. vii, at p. 29, and xxxvii, p. 16, we have a quotation from the will of Sir David Owen, dated 1529: "My body to be brought with my helmet and sworde and my cote-armour, my standarde pendaunt and setton, a baner of the Trynyte, one of Our Lady, and one other of St. George, borne after the order of a man of my degree and set up in the Priory (of Easbourne) after the observance done at my tombe."
