More about this scene
The Abbey Church of St Editha dates from Norman times, but Polesworth Abbey is said to have been founded by King Egbert in 827. He installed his daughter (some say his sister) Editha as its first abbess. The church contains an effigy of an abbess dating from c1200. While too late to represent Editha, it is said to be the earliest effigy of an abbess in England.
