Alabaster effigies of Sir Edmund and Dame Joan de Appleby
Image of alabaster effigies of Sir Edmund de Appleby and his wife, Dame Joan, located in a side chapel of St Michael and All Angels Church in Appleby. These date from 1375. They are on top of the de Appleby family tombs.
The family are thought to have taken their name from the village rather than vv. They were resident in the village from 1166 to the mid-16th C. They were latterly linked to the Moat House.
At that time the dedication of the chapel was to St Helen.
