SEPULCHRAL RECUMBENT EFFIGY IN BETTWS Y COED CHURCH, NORTH WALES.

THOSE of the sepulchral effigies in Wales, of the fourteenth century, represented in armour, will ofttimes be found to differ in detail from those of the same period in England. I am not, however, about to enter into a general comparison, but shall content myself with observing upon a single effigy only, that represented in the annexed engraving, one of a most interesting description, preserved in the little church of Bettws y Coed, not far from Llanrwst, a spot well known to tourists of North Wales. In the north wall of the chancel of this little church is a plain, pointed, sepulchral arch, the quarter-round mouldings of which clearly indicate it to be of, or about, the middle of the fourteenth century.

Beneath this arch is deposited a recumbent effigy of a warrior clad in the defensive armour of the fourteenth century, of a rare description; peculiar, I think, or nearly so, to Wales. The head of this effigy reposes, in a not unusual manner, on a tilting-helm of the description worn in tournaments; the crest on which, of a large size, is that of a bird's head and beak. On the head of this effigy appears the basinet or war-helmet, the top of which has been broken. On either side of the basinet is a leaf of four foils. Attached by cordons within loops on either side of the lower border of the basinet, is a camail, or tippet of mail, of that kind often described as of rings set edgewise; the links of which are very perfect, and five-eighths of an inch in diameter. The camail covers the chin and breast, and over the upper lip is worn the moustache. The shoulders are protected by epaulières of overlapping plates, and gussets of mail cover the armpits. În front of the shoulders are roundels of plate, 3 inches in diameter, each bearing a cinquefoiled rosette. Likeshaped roundels appear also at the bending of the elbows. The upper arms, from the shoulders to the elbows, are enclosed within defensive plates of armour called brassarts or rerebraces; the elbows are protected by coudes,-armour so called; the lower arms are encased within vambraces. Both the rere and vambraces are studded with button-like protuberances, threeeighths to half an inch in diameter, four rows of which are apparent on the rerebraces. Gauntlets of plate, with articulated finger-joints, protect the hands, which are conjoined on the breast as in prayer; and between which a heart is held,--a by no means unusual representation. Over the breastplate the short and sleeveless, close-fitting surcoat called the jupon is worn. This is heraldically emblazoned with a chevron and two oak-leaves in chief; and the skirts of the jupon are bordered by a row of oak-leaves. Round the loins, and encircling the jupon horizontally, appears the bawdrick, an ornamental belt of some width. In front of the
