Description
This is a medieval effigy located approximately 5 metres west of the south aisle of the Church of St Mary in Hornby. It likely commemorates a member of the de Hornby or St Quintin families associated with Hornby Castle. The effigy is made of stone and measures about 1.5 metres in length. Although it is weathered, the figure appears to have crossed legs at the end nearest the church.
