--------------------------

Agnes Oxenbridge (died 4 August 1480) and Elizabeth Etchingham (died 3 December 1452) have a joint memorial brass on the floor of the side aisle of The Assumption of Blessed Mary and St Nicholas church at Etchingham, England. The brass is in front of the monument to Etchingham's ancestors. The Latin inscription under Elizabeth Etchingham identifies her as the first daughter of Thomas and Margaret Etchingham. The text under Agnes Oxenbridge identifies her as the daughter of Robert Oxenbridge.[1][2]
Both Judith M. Bennett in The Lesbian Premodern and Alan Bray in Homosexuality in Renaissance England observed that the arrangement of the memorial brasses resembled those made for married couples, and therefore speculate that the brasses for Oxenbridge and Etchingham represented a particular friendship. This, they infer, may have been a medieval example of Lesbian relationship.[3]

"Elizabeth Etchingham and Agnes Oxenbridge are remembered in a
modest memorial brass (figure 9.1) on the floor of a side aisle in a
small parish church deep in the Sussex weald.1

Laid in the late fifteenth

century, the brass shows the two women turned towards each other.
Elizabeth Etchingham, on the left, is depicted with loose hair flowing
down to her hips. Agnes Oxenbridge, on the right, is considerably larger
than Elizabeth, and her hair is tightly coifed, but not covered. They are
identically dressed. A Latin inscription under Elizabeth Etchingham tells
us that she, first-born daughter of Thomas and Margaret Etchingham,
died on December 3, 1452. A similar text under Agnes Oxenbridge identifies her as the daughter of Robert Oxenbridge, gives her date of death
as August 4, 1480, and solicits God’s mercy on behalf of both women.2"
