V.—Some Account of the Courtenay Tomb in Colyton Church, Devon
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2012
Extract
In Colyton church stands a small high tomb, on which is the recumbent effigy of a young lady with a coronet on her head and a dog at her feet. Over the effigy is a shrine-like canopy; in the sides supporting the canopy are angels with thuribula; and on the outside of the west end in a niche are the Virgin and Holy Child.
