Great helm of the XIVth century. The original helmet (which you can admire in the second photo), dating back about to the year 1375, is kept at the Scottish Museum in Edinburgh and it is said it belonged to sir Richard Pembridge. 

The helm was placed above Sir Richard’s tomb in Hereford Cathedral, as a symbol of his authority and a reminder of his military distinction.

Constructed from three plates of steel riveted together, the helm was designed to deflect attack.
A low crown plate is overlapped by a sloping plate shaped like a truncated cone, in turn overlapped by a vertical plate made all in one piece.
The raised edges of the eye holes give extra strength and protection. Chains with toggle ends were passed through the cross-shaped holes to attach the helm to the breastplate.

The helm has traces of a leather lining to which a padded fabric lining would have been stitched. It may have been borne directly on the head, worn over a cloth arming cap or over a mail hood or coif.
Internal padding, secured between the holes in the sides, ensured a snug fit.
Sir Richard’s identifying crest, a wheatsheaf, was attached through holes at the top.
The style of the helm is both effective in defence and deliberately sinister, to intimidate opponents.

A comfortable, adjustable, and padded liner is riveted into the helmet, as well as a leather chin-strap with a buckle.
