Brass in St Bartholomew's Church, Greens Norton, Northamptonshire, of Sir Thomas Greene (d.1462) of Greens Norton, and his wife Matilda Throckmorton. Set into a ledger stone on top of a chest tomb within a recess on the north side of the church (see image in situ[1]). He was the father of Sir Thomas Green (c.1461 – 9 November 1506), who died in the Tower of London, where he had been imprisoned for treason, best known as the grandfather of Catherine Parr, last wife of King Henry VIII. Arms top right: Greene (Azure, three stags trippant or) quartering Mablethorpe (Gules, a chevron or between three cross-crosslets argent in chief a lion passant of the last) The brasses are described by Boutell in his Monumental Brasses of England (page 43) as follows: "1462 Sir Thomas Grene and Matilda Throckmorton his wife, Green's Norton Church, Northamptonshire. This knight wears over his steel breast plate a demi-placate, and he has a lance rest screwed upon the armour which covers his breast on the right side. The two pouldrons are not very dissimilar and they are finished above by a serrated ridge some what resembling the back fin of a fish. This appears to be prototype of the passe-guards of a later period. The coudieres are large, and also serated like the pauldrons. About the throat is a collar or mentoniere of mail: the head and hands are bare; the former rests upon a tilting-helmet, now despoiled of its crest: the latter are clasped and uplifted as in prayer. The figure below the waist is drawn in such a manner as to represent the knees as turned outwards: the joints of the armour inside the legs are, consequently and the singularly formed genouillieres with their back plates, and also the tuilles are seen in profile. The sollents are still pointed. Between the tuilles appears the skirt of a haketon, and over this a baguette of mail. The sword is girded at the left side almost perpendicularly, by a narrow belt: and from this same belt a misericorde of unusual size is suspended in front of the person. The lady is in a widows habit: she wears a kirtle, a mantle a flowing kerchief upon the head, and a barbe beneath the chin. Beneath the larger effigies were smaller figures of their four children: but these which were severally labelled Thomas, (???), John, and Elizabeth have all disappeared except the last. Of four shields originally placed at the angles of the composition, two only remain: these bear Greene impaling Ferrers, and Greene and Mablethorpe quarterly. This fine and interesting brass was originally fixed upon an altartomb: but this now destroyed, and the brass lies upon the pavement of the chancel. The border legend has been preserved and is as follows:
Notes: w:Richard Talbot, 4th Baron Talbot (c. 1361–1396) married Ankaret, 7th Baroness Strange of Blackmere, daughter and heiress of John le Strange, 4th Baron Strange of Blackmere.
