Bishop Walter de Cantelupe. Worcester Cathedral

walwyn Tue, 07/19/2011 - 21:28

This mid 13th century tomb of Bishop Walter de Cantelupe (d1266) is made of Purbeck marble. The relief of the effigy is more rounded than that of the nearby tomb of his predecessor the bishop of Worcester William de Blois (d1236) which is still in the Romanesque style and shows the development to the more rounded forms of the early Gothic.
