1 88 WOODEN EFFIGY AND TOMB, ALL SAINTS CHURCH, DERBY. 



It may be remarked that, as a wooden effigy of a canon, this 

 figure is quite unique. It shows most admirably the tails forming 

 the fringe of the tippet of the furred alrnuce, and those on the 

 pendants in front. The addition of the cope is an uncommon 

 feature. 



The lesser figure, or cadaver, has lost nearly one-third of its 

 length, and is now only about 3 feet long. It shows the body 

 enveloped in a shroud, fastened round the waist by a girdle, and 

 which covers the head, but leaves the face visible. No trace can 

 be found of the cross patee mentioned by Bassano, No attempt 

 has been made at restoration. 



The old side of the tomb is somewhat remarkable in design. 

 It it 5 feet 11 inches long, and about 2 feet high. It 

 consists of a wide and almost flat Tudor arch, with charac- 

 teristic roses in the spandrels ; above which is a band, 13J 

 inches wide, with thirteen figures of bedefolk carved in high 

 relief, standing beneath singular pointed canopies, supported by 

 twisted shafts. 



These figures may be thus described : — 



1. — A bearded man in a long gown and cloak and tippet, 

 with the hood drawn over his head. In his hands a long scroll. 



2. — A bearded man clothed similarly to the first, with his 

 left hand uplifted, and in his right hand a crutched staff. 



3. — A man with long curly hair and short beard, clad in a 

 gown with short sleeves, and with his hands crossed over his 

 breast. 



4. — A man with long straight hair, in long gown, holding his 

 beard with the left hand, and clasping a string of beads pendant 

 from his girdle with the right. 



5. — A bearded man in gown and cloak with drawn hood, 

 holding a rosary in his hands. 



6. — A beardless person with long curly hair, clad in a gown 

 with ample sleeves and reaching to the feet, and holding in the 

 hands a wedge-shaped board. 



7. — A bearded man in gown and cloak with drawn hood, 

 clasping his hands in prayer.
