a son, heir of her body and her grave.  Though she a mother was, she did begin
Strange !  not till after death to lie in.

Would prove, witt, beauty and the best must dye

Wolferlow - St Andrew
Mid 13th century effigy of a lady. NB This monument is under threat as the church may pass into private hands in the near future. Interesting feature: The angels appear to be drawing a face cloth away from the lady's face, best seen in the photograph to the right. This is a very unusual feature and, to my knowledge, only occurs on a handful of military effigies in Yorkshire.
