These figures are here given not only for the beauty of their action and
drapery in some parts, but as valuable illustrations of costume. They
are about 20 inches high under the canopies on the sides of the altar
tomb of John, Lord Neville; 1389. They were much mutilated by the Scotch
prisoners, confined here after the battle of Dunbar. The heads are here
restored in order to complete the characters.
