Culture, General Things, Church Monuments Books, Monumental Effigies of Great Britain, Effigy in Gosberton Church, Lincolnshire

Effigy in Gosberton Church, Lincolnshire is in Monumental Effigies of Great Britain.

THIS unappropriated figure presents a good example of the chain-mail armour of the thirteenth century. It is presumed to belong to the family of Reya.

Note a. There was formerly another mutilated Effigy in a chapel which has since been used as the schoolhouse, and an inscription to Nicholas Rey and his son Edmund; as we learn from a Collection of Lincolnshire epitaphs, made by the Rev. Robert Smyth in the middle of the last century, and now in the possession of J. B. Nichols, Esq. F.S.A.
