| Description |
English: Church of St Peter and St Paul, East Harling, Norfolk, Easter Sepulchre style monument to Sir William Chamberlayne/Chamberlain (d.1462), Knight of the Garter, of Gedding in Suffolk, the first husband of Anne Harling (c.1426-1498), heiress of the manor of East Harling, the only child and sole heiress of Sir Robert Harling (d.1435) of East Harling, by his wife Jane Gonville, the daughter and heiress of the family who had founded Gonville Hall in Cambridge and Rushworth College near East Harling. Anne Harling was responsible for reglazing the church between 1463-80. (Source: Stained Glass in England During the Middle Ages, By Richard Marks, p.198 [1]).
On his tabard in the stained glass window he displays the arms of Gules, a chevron between three escallops or with a label of three points argent for difference (in the first quarter only) (Chamberlain/Chamberlayne) quartering Argent, a saltire engrailed azure (Tolthorpe ? / Legat ?). These arms are also sculpted atop his monument, on the south side (facing into the chancel), on an à bouche shaped jousting shield, circumscribed by the Garter, and supported by two horse-like beasts, with a similar beast's head as a crest. On the north side (facing into the Harling family's chantry chapel, founded by Anne Harling) are sculpted the arms of Argent, a unicorn sable crined unguled and armed or (Harling), quartering Or semy-de-lis Sable (Mortimer) with an inescutcheon of pretence of Argent, on a chevron cotised dancetty sable three escallops or (Gonville). (Source: http://www.norfolkheraldry.org.uk/NEWchamberlain_kg.html). The monument is also liberally sculpted with the heraldic badge of a gold basket (also shown in his stained glass window portrait) and another badge of a quiver of arrows (Harling) (Source: Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi (CVMA) of Great Britain[2]) also with small (now blank) shields circumscribed by the Garter. The basket appears to be the badge of his father-in-law Sir Robert Herling (d.1435), as it appears sculpted profusely on his monument in East Harling Church. The two large monumental brasses of Sir William and Anne are missing, the indents of which are visible on the ledger stone beneath the arch.
