Summary

Description
English: Drawing of a baselard based on the effigy of Thomas de Topcliffe (d. 1365).

Plate included in the article 'On some of the Smaller Weapons of the Middle Ages' by Dillon. Original caption: "Thomas Topcliffe 1391".

The effigy is in St. Columba's Church in Topcliffe, North Yorkshire. apparently, Thomas de Topcliffe died in 1365, and his wife in 1391, but apparently both effigies are of the same workmanship, presumably made after the death of the wife:

In the nave, there is a remarkable brass of Flemish workmanship 6’x3’, bearing full length effigies of Thomas de Topcliffe (1365), and his wife (1391). This is one of the best examples of this type of monumental brass in this part of England. It is a palimpsest, i.e. it is made up of fragments of other earlier brasses.
