Description:Effigy of Elias-de-Napton which marked his tomb in 1295 when it was in the south aisle of the church.

Elias-de-Napton was prebendary of Eccleshall and the son of the first Lord Broughton. He was Co-adjudicator for the Bishop of Lichfield (who lived in France) and was allowed to wear the bishop's robes and mitre.

The stone lid was in the churchyard for many years and is now very worn. It was brought back inside at the insistence of the North Staffordshire Field Club.
