Effigy of Sir
William Hatcliffe
Sir William died in 1551.
As can be seen by
the graphic
on the right his effigy
is in
danger of being erased
by the ravages of time.
Sir William is depicted
in full armour, his hands
joined in prayer.
Above his
head are his quartered
arms.
PRESERVATION FUND
With the invaluable assistance
of
Peter Hill, a resident
of Hatcliffe,
and the approval of the
church
committee a Restoration
Fund is
to be set up to restore
the effigy.
Experts have been called
in and
we are awaiting the final
costing. |
