Hi, I am looking for images of Sir John Montacute d.1389 effigy. I have one line art drawing that doesnt really satisfy my want of detail. I am especially intersted in his plaque belt, it is the only plaque belt I have seen tied off in this fashion, all others seem to have a hidden connection behind one of the plaques. Th torso armour looks kinda interesting too, I'm guessing it is a jupon over breastplate, not sure. Any info and pictures much appreciated. My net searches didnt bring up anything useful. Thanks.

Really? Five minutes on Google researching a subject I know nothing about says this effigy is GONE -- didn't survive Henry VIII's dissolution.

1. Searched image.google.com for
"John Montacute" -- First image was on a page explaining that the Earl of Salisbury's remains were removed to Bisham by his wife's request to Henry V.

2. Searched same for Bisham Priory, and got the linked page.

My google wasnt opening at the time I was searching for an image. I used dogpile to search instead but like I said didnt come up with much.

Here is a link to the image I have:
