Church of St John the Baptist

A Grade II* Listed Building in Elton, Stockton-on-Tees

Effigy of Knight, Elton Church

Uploader's Comments

On the south side of the chancel is the cross-legged effigy of a knight in chain armour with feet resting on a talbot. It has not been identified, but in 1714 was referred to as 'Gower's statue.' The monument possibly commemorates Robert Gower the younger, who died about 1315, for whom there was an obit in the church.
