An ornate carving of a man in chainmail. His head is on a pillow and he is holding a sword with a shield at his side and his feet are resting on a lion. The face area is heavily worn away. It is a large and fine monumental effigy in chain armour, which served as a boundary mark of the parish of St Margaret, in Walmgate; being half-buried in the ground against a wall on the east side of Newtgate. The arms on the shield are those of the family of Vescy, and as the shield has a bar sinister across it, we have probably the monument of a rather celebrated personage in his day, Sir John de Vescy, illegitimate son of William de Vescy, lord of Alnwick, who died in the beginning of the fourteenth century, to which period this figure belongs. On the widening of Newtgate (now called St George's Street) this effigy was removed.
