NAME TYPE MATERIAL DATE ? Recumbent priest Freestone c. 1320

At the east end of the north aisle lies the effigy of a priest dressed in mass vestments and a furred amice. The hands are now vanished. The head rests on a lozenge-shaped cushion. At the feet is what looks like a mutilated dragon. Although there is no inscription the late Rev John Yates believed the effigy to be that of Cossington's first Rector.   The church of All Saints Sepulchral Effigies of Leicestershire and Rutland Text copyright Max Matthews 2002.
