Recumbent priest

Freestone

1330

Lying under a pointed demi-quatrefoil arch in the north wall of the chancel the effigy's tonsured head is below a nodding ogee canopy with flowered finials. With his hands elevated in prayer and his feet on a lion, the priest is depicted wearing an alb, amice and chasuble. There is no inscription.
