His tomb was originally in St John the Evangelist’s chapel but was moved out to the north ambulatory when General Wolfe’s monument was erected in 1772. He wears the latest style of armour, with dagger and sword and a steel bascinet (helmet). His head rests on his crest (a hind’s head, ducally gorged), and at his feet is a lion, the symbol of courage. He was apparently one of the captains of Thomas, Lord Camoys in France and he married as her fifth and last husband the Kentish heiress Joan de la Pole, Lady Cobham. No inscription now remains but his coat of arms, a mullet or voided star with a bird in the centre, appears four times, impaling quarterly Mortimer and Ulster (at the top), and the chevron with three stars and chevron with three lions representing branches of the Cobham family.
