This much-restored recumbent effigy of an abbot in mass vestments holding his crozier was
found in April 1923 on the site of Newbo Abbey, Lincolnshire. It is early 13th century and
probably represents the first abbot of Newbo Abbey, which was founded in 1198. There is no
inscription.
Newbo Abbey was to the immediate east of Sedgebrook (adjacent to the modern A52), although actually in Barrowby parish.
