DescriptionA 14th century knight and lady (geograph 3626398).jpg
English: A 14th century knight and lady, Church of St Stephen, Careby, Lincolnshire. "In the south aisle is a very well preserved limestone effigy of a knight and his lady lying beneath a quilt. Only the upper bodies and feet are showing, and the hands are raised in prayer. It dates to around 1300 to 1325. The knight has traditionally been identified as Sir William Bayous but he did not die until after 1351 and so it is more likely to be the effigy of his father Suspirius de Bayous who died in 1292 and the monument set up in the first decade of the 14th century."[1] Arms of BAYOUSE, Lincolnshire: Gules, two bars argent in chief three escallops of the second (Joseph Edmondson, A Complete Body of Heraldry - Volume 2, 1780[2])
