Summary edit

Description
English: Effigy and chest tomb in Thruxton Church in Hampshire of John Lisle, 9th Baron Lisle (d. circa 1523) (peerage created in 1299), last in the male line. (G. E. Cokayne, The Complete Peerage, n.s., Vol.VIII, pp.45-6). On his tabard he displays the arms of Lisle of Wootton, Isle of Wight (Or, on a chief azure three lions rampant of the first) quartering A fess between three birds (unknown family). (see image[1]) The monumental brass of his ancestor John de Lisle, 5th Baron Lisle (1366-1408) in Thruxton Church, shows the arms of Lisle of Wootton, Isle of Wight impaling A chevron between three heathcocks (or martlets) the arms of his wife a certain Elizabeth, of unknown family, but "presumably the heiress or co-heiress" of the manor of Thruxton, Hampshire (G. E. Cokayne, The Complete Peerage, n.s., Vol.VIII, p.43). "Precisely when the Cormeilles family parted with the manor (of Thruxton) and how the Lisles acquired it has not been discovered, but Sir John de Lisle, who died in 1407, desired to be buried in the church".[1]

Per Victoria County History, Hampshire, re Thruxton[2]: To the north of the sanctuary is an altar tomb of Purbeck marble with richly traceried panels bearing the recumbent effigies of a knight and lady in a fine white stone; he wears a mail hauberk under his plate armour and a tabard over it with the arms of Lisle quartered with a fesse between three martlets; the same are on the shoulder pieces. He also wears a collar of SS and roses. His head is bare and rests on a shield with cross bands carved with Renaissance ornament. One leg is broken below the knee into several pieces, the other has been broken and repaired, and his feet rest on gauntlets. The lady wears a richly decorated 'kennel' head-dress and her hair descends in long tresses behind her back; she is in a tightfitting dress with close sleeves and a long mantle fastened apparently by a double chain at the shoulders, from which hangs a cross. Her feet are wrapped in the mantle, and the workmanship of both figures is extremely beautiful and shows a marked Italian influence. They are said to be the work of an Italian artist brought over by Lord Sandys. The Purbeck marble base of the tomb is richly panelled in three bays on the south; the brass shields which were on this side and the single shields at east and west have now gone as well as the inscription which went round the top edge
