CROSS-LEGGED EFFIGIES IN DORSET. 23 



a franklin, i.e., a civilian who was allowed to carry a sword, and 

 there are only one or two other effigies of this character in the 

 country. The other two cross-legged effigies not described in 

 the paper are of the usual type, one being in the Church of 

 Wimborne St. Giles, and said to represent Sir John de Plecy 

 (d. 1313), the other at Stoke Gaylard, where the figure in 

 Hamhill stone is stated to be of Sir Ingelramus de Waleys. 

 These three effigies will be fully described and illustrated in the 

 forthcoming volume of these Proceedings, when illustrations will 

 also appear of those at Horton, Piddletown, Wimborne Minster, 

 and Trent, together with any other information and records 

 which may corne to light on the subject.
