Effigy in the Abbey Church of Tewkesbury is in Monumental Effigies of Great Britain.
THIS figure has not been appropriated by Mr. Stothard, and the topographical works on Gloucestershire afford no light by which it may be identified. It lies under an arch in the wall of the North aisle of the Church. The hands are raised in the attitude of prayer, and the bare feet indicate, perhaps, a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The details of the armour, mail and plate, are curious. The cuisses, as in two or three preceding examples, are remarkable: they appear to be composed of fluted steel intermixed with studs. Front and profile views of the figure are given. The herald may perhaps discover the family to which it belongs by the bearing on the shield and surcoat, a chevron between three lions' heads langued.
