Interpreting Medieval Effigies: The Evidence from Yorkshire to 1400 by Brian & Moira Gittos was originally published in 2019 but is now being re-issued in paperback. It explores Yorkshire’s medieval effigies in great detail and demonstrates what a rich resource they are. Yorkshire has 231 of these pre-1400 carved figures, which are found right across the county and represent some 10% of the national total. Most remain in the churches where they were originally set up and can still be seen by anyone who visits. This ground-breaking work paints a vivid picture of these little-understood carvings, including what they originally looked like and how they were used. It includes effigies from Thornhill, Batley, Swillington, Felkirk etc.
