Brass rubbing in Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.

Parish: St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol

Inscription: Philip Mede Esq. and 2 wives

Coat of arms: Gules a chevron ermine between three trefoils slipped argent.

From the verger of St. Mary Redcliffe:

"The tomb of the Mede family is aprox. 10 ft high by 18 ft by 3 ft. It contains in one compartment the effigies of Thomas and his wife and in the other a brass of Philip and his two wives. This rectangular brass shows Philip kneeling with his wife. Philip's helmet is seen in front of him leaving his head uncovered and showing his long hair. Philip Mede's daughter married Maurice the younger brother of William 12th Lord Berkeley. Philip also supported with his men the Berkeley family at the last private battle fought on English soil at Nibley Green in 1470.

Philip Mede was Mayor of Bristol in 1459, 1462 and 1469. Thomas was also Mayor but is dressed in merchant clothing and as he had the tomb built with its fine carving I suppose he managed to gain the family wealth."- from the Vance Mead webpage on Mead HX [NY 160]
