Description: | This Medieval stone effigy is believed to be of Sir Henry Staunton, 1320s. It was found on the site of the Austin Friars Church in Newcastle. There were four friaries and one nunnery in Newcastle at this time and the Church was at the centre of everyone's lives. Little is known about Sir Henry. He was a knight and was probably involved in warfare in Northumberland. It is very likely that he paid for the effigy to be made before his death. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | religion living in the North East buildings and views Newcastle North East personalities | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
