1318 A monumental effigy of William de Combemartin was placed in the church of Alderton, Northamptonshire. VCH describes the effigy: [30]
Sir William de Combemartyn. Died 1318. Alderton.
The wooden effigy is a good example of a work of art of this character and represents the man in the usual hood, hauberk, chausses, etc. It is accurately carved in an attitude of easy repose, and though it has lost every particle of colour and is sadly decayed, in its looped and windowed raggedness it still exhibits much that arrests the attention. The loose fit of the mail about the right arm and neck is well expressed, and the repair of the block by the sculptor before he handed it over to the painter is evident, as is also the straight under-eye line, the favourite fashion of medieval sculptors of this the best age. The effigy formerly lay in the south aisle of Alderton church, but when this was pulled down in 1848, it was relegated by the process of 'restoration' to an upper stage of the tower.

Research Notes:
In his analysis of the medieval English wool trade, Lloyd states that "the greatest city merchant in the early fourteenth century seems to have been William de Combemartin, whose recorded exports of 841 sacks from London before 1313 are almost equalled by 798 sacks from Hull, Boston and Southampton."
