Stock Gaylard

Crusader Effigy Church of St Barnabas - Stock Gaylard. C13 effigy in the south wall of the nave, believed to be the crusader knight Sir Ingelramus de Waleys, whose dismembered body was assumed to have been brought back from the Holy Land for burial in his native place. Certainly a dismembered skeleton was found here during the church's restoration in 1884, and was subsequently re-buried in a new wooden coffin bearing the red cross of the Knights Templar.
