caption_attribution_description: English: Monumental brass of Margaret, Lady Camoys (d.1310), set in the floor of St George's Church in Trotton, West Sussex. Inscription in Longobardic capitals: MARGARETE DE CAMOYS GIST ICI DEUS DE SA ALME EIT MERCI AMEN (Boutell, Charles, Monumental Brasses and Slabs: An Historical and Descriptive Notice of the ..., p.81[1], with drawing). ("Margaret de Camoys lies here. May God have mercy on her soul [âme], Amen") This is the earliest surviving brass of a female figure in England (Macklin, Herbert Walter &amp; Page-Phillips, John, (Eds.), 1969, p.68[2]). She wears around her neck a wimple (or gorget) which hides the chin and sides of the face. This style of dress continued in fashion until the end of the reign of King Edward III (1327-1377)(p.69) Español: Imagen de latón en el piso de la iglesia de San Jorge en Trotton, en el condado de West Sussex, Inglaterra.
context_page_description: St. George's Church is an Anglican church in Trotton, a village in the district of Chichester, one of seven local government districts in the English county of West Sussex. Most of the structure was built in the early 14th century. However, some parts date to around 1230, and there is evidence suggesting an earlier church on the same site. In 1904, a largely intact and unusually detailed painting was found on the west wall depicting the Last Judgment as described in Matthew 25:31–46.
  The church is dedicated to St. George, patron saint of England. The rector of St George's also oversees the parish of Rogate with Terwick, and most services are held at St. Bartholomew's church in Rogate: just two services a month take place at Trotton. The church is also used once a month by the British Orthodox Church. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building for its architectural and historical importance.
context_section_description: A 9-foot (2.7 m) table-tomb in the middle of the chancel contains the remains of Thomas de Camoys, 1st Baron Camoys (died 1421, although the inscription states 1419) and his wife Elizabeth Mortimer, a daughter of Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March. Baron Camoys fought at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, and his wife was the inspiration for the character of Gentle Kate in  Henry IV by Shakespeare.   This is an unusually large brass,  the couple being depicted only slightly smaller than life-size and holding hands. The monument was described by Ian Nairn and Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the biggest, most ornate and best preserved brasses in England".
  The nave contains a ledger stone with a brass of Margaret de Camois (died 1310).  This is the oldest known brass of a woman in England. A 15th-century niche-tomb existed formerly in the south wall, but had been largely removed by 1780.  The table-tomb of Sir Roger Lewknor (died c. 1478) survives in the north-east corner of the chancel. Its sides display festoon motifs and slender sculpted niches.  In the south-east corner is the monument to Anthony Foster (died 1643), formed with pilasters.
