English translation "The rector of Tanfield while he lived, by the name of Thomas Sutton, alas lies here, both a graduate (bachelor) and a master of arts, and indeed canon here and in Westchester. Thus, "Norton was victor"?. I entreat you, pour out your prayers." (Translated by Bard Swallow) There is a long standing puzzle associated with the line "Norton was victor"? because it does not make sense but it also is not a mistake. Notes on the Parchment: Tanfield Kent Thos. Sutton 1490 Description of Rubbing: He is standing and facing forward with his hands in prayer on 4 lines of inscription (see inscription). His robes hit the floor and he had a shorter cape to his ankles over top. The cape has wide detailed and embroidered edges was a different pattern than the embroidered bottom edge.
