died after the battle of Crecy - Sheviock Cornwall
Effigy reclining on a window cill on the north wall of the north aisle near to where the north transept once stood until late 14c and possibly his original resting place .
It is thought to be in memory of John Dawnay 1302 - 1346 the father of Emmeline Dawnay 1371 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/Nz6R474f3P wife of Sir Hugh Courtenay 1372 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/656970Y7Rg who was his heiress.
John Dawnay the last of his male line, was the son of Nicholas Dawnay and Joan daughter of John Langton & husband of Sibyl daughter of Sir Walter de Treverbyn 1306 & Margery Bloyou, who after his death was not to marry without the king’s licence, and to cause her dower to be assigned to her out of the lands &c. of her late husband, 28 February, 21 Edward III
John Dawney served in King Edward III's expedition to Honfleur and fought at the Battle of Crécy on 26 August 1346, for which he was made a knight banneret. He died shortly after the battle
The family were probably also known by the name Dauney
derived from Sir Paine D’Auney of Auney Castle in Normandy who came to England at the time of William the Conqueror, probably in 1066.
The monument is said to date to c 1375 and could have been made at the same time of those to Emmeline & Sir Hugh in the south transept www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/8rL5G9413W
(It has been suggested that he is instead the son of John Dawnay who predeceased his father, but I can find no record of his name etc)
