The remains of the brass of can be seen in St John the Baptist’s chapel. It is only about three feet long and shows him bare-headed with his sword hanging straight in front of his body. His legs are missing as are the shields and scrolls. He was one of the great soldiers of the Wars of the Roses, fighting on the Yorkist side. Edward IV appointed him Chamberlain to his son Edward (one of the “Princes in the Tower”) but he was arrested by the future Richard III and executed at Pontefract.
