Description
Hob's Stone is a coffin lid that has been later re-set in an upright position. It is probably from the early 14th century, with an adjacent basin stone that may date to the 17th century and features an 18th-century inscription. The stone is made of limestone and measures approximately 0.4 metres by 0.5 metres and stands 1.0 metre high. The west face displays a weathered effigy of a knight holding a shield of arms, while the east face has a worn and now illegible 18th-century inscription. On the east side, there is a flat stone with an upper face measuring approximately 0.6 metres square, which has a shallow basin cut into it. This basin is reputed to have been used for disinfecting money during the plague in York.
