Glanvilles Wootton – St Mary’s Church – Tomb

In a tomb recess in the chapel is this effigy of a man clad in a long military style surcoat, tippet and hood. Feet spurred and resting on a dog or a lion. At left side a dagger and a sword slung from belt buckled over hips. Late 13th century but the face has been restored at some later date.
