                The Tomb of Lady Isabel de Briddesale

She was the wife of Sir Gilbert de Briddesale and the younger daughter and joint heiress of Peter de Camp. The recumbent figure is clothed in 14th century costume and surrounded by kneeling figures. Above her head is a symbolic representation of the soul ascending, supported by two angels. The family lived at Birdsall in the 13th and 14th centuries.

"The manor of Huggate is not far from Pocklington on the Wolds in the East Riding. The Mauleys (de Malo Lacu) were Lords of it and it was in 1333 in possession of Isabel de Brideshale."
