There's a book, "Women of Distinction: Margaret of York and Margaret

of the photos might be helpful:

Also you might try looking at tomb effigies of the period in question,
but others might be able to better speak to that (paging Robin
Netherton?)
Both effigies and brasses are plentiful in England at this point and
are readily available in books. For brasses, search your available
libraries for the keywords "monumental brasses" (good starts are the
V&A's "Brass Rubbings" and the "Portfolio Plates" of the Monumental
Brass Society). For effigies, search under "church monuments." There
are fewer good collections for those, though; my own collection of
effigy images is culled together from things like postcards and
tourist pamphlets given out at historic churches.
Thanks - so is my collection. I've passed on E.House and Melanie's
information - thank goodness I'm not doing this one!

Otherwise I can't help with details on this period. This is a bit
past my period of specialty; I'll refer you to E House (who's
already gotten there with good info, I see), and Melanie Schuessler.
