Ecclesiastical Effigy

Two stone effigies which had been placed on end against the walls were laid below the arches of the nave arcade in the restoration of 1906. They were for a long time in the churchyard, to which probably they had been moved in 1741.

This effigy is that of an ecclesiastic, the head resting on a cushion, on either side of which are a chalice and book. The figure is 6 ft. 3 in. long and in flat relief. Down the front of the chasuble runs the inscription + vilks de wretton capellan.
