The hands are held together in prayer with the mail mittens hanging down the front. The sword has a circular pommel and the sword belt is fastenedd by interlocking thongs. Over his shoulder passes a guige to carry the shield, which used to bear the arms of the Bingham family being Or on a fess gules three water bougets argent. The surcoat has a narrow girdle and is over the hauberk which is split for riding. The knee caps are of plain cuirbouilli and the feet rest on a lion and he wears prick spurs. The hands held in prayer appear to have had a fixture attached to them which may have perhaps once been a heart. Richard was knighted by Edward I and serverd in 2 parliaments.

In 1300 Richard was comissioner with Robert de Jorz for raising 1500 men for the campaign of Edward I in Scotland.
