Inside Christ Church cathedral in Oxford is the effigy of a tall knight in full armour however it is not quite how it first appears...
The figure bears the garb and crest of the Nowers family. Which Nowers the effigy represents however is in question. It is thought it represents John de Nowers who died in 1386. It has also been suggested it represents Sir George Nowers who was Lord of the Manor of Tackley and died in 1425. The armour the effigy wears would be wrong for the period however.
The tomb has an interesting origin [1]. Analysis of the tomb itself under the effigy has revealed what appears to be a greyhound and crests of the de Gaynsfords. The tomb was therefore possible appropriated by the Nowers and a new effigy installed on it. The effigy itself has signs parts of it coming from different origins, the feet being cut into a de Gaynsford greyhound. It is possible therefore that the feet are from the original effigy. The rest being removed and replaced by one representing Nowers.
