To the west of Alice's effigy lies a beautifully finished recumbent alabaster effigy of 'a knight in armour, at his feet is a crouching lion, beneath his head a peacock, on his surcoat a lion rampant and upon his helmet the Clifton crest.' Cox suggest this late 14th century effigy may represent either Sir Gervase Clifton (d.1391) or Sir John Clifton who was killed at the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403.

To the south of these effigies is a large tomb chest, bearing the recumbent effigy of Sir Gervase Clifton (1518-1588/89) with his two wives, Mary and Winifred, on either side.
Здесь Gervase Clifton изображен совершенно на другом памятнике, а наш памятник - безымянный, поэтому, так как большинство аналогичных памятников в образце (P0266) относятся к 1400 и позже, то для нашего памятника будет использована аттрибуция John Clifton (+1403)
Если бы на нашем памятнике был подходящий Gervase Clifton (+1391), то оно умер в возрасте 78 лет и скорее всего был бы изображен с семьей, а наш персонаж один (жена John Clifton (+1403) - Katherine Cressy - вскоре после его смерти вновь вышла замуж и умерла позже, до 1420), а наш персонаж погиб в битве при Shrewsbury в тот же день, когда стал Knight Banneret
Поэтому вполне обоснованно было изобразить его сразу после смерти и одного.

A later Sir Gervase de Clifton (1313-1391) was Sheriff and Escheater for Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in 1345, and M.P. in 1347-48, and in 1367 was a member of the Commission of Array for Nottinghamshire.
His grandson Sir John de Clifton sat as M.P. for Nottinghamshire in 1402 and was also Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. He was created a Knight Banneret on the morning of the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403, but was killed later that day in the service of King Henry IV.
Sir John's marriage in 1382 to Catherine, daughter of Sir John Cressy, led to the Cliftons' acquisition of Hodsock and other estates in the north of Nottinghamshire, as well as in adjacent parts of Yorkshire.
