Scope and Content Effigy, Parish Church, Ceres, Fife Ceres Parish Church was built in 1805-6 to designs by Alexander Leslie. The tower's octagonal clock stage and spire were added in 1851 by High Birrell, and the north end rebuilt by John Milne in 1865. The porch contains a knightly effigy of about 1410-50. Uncovered plate armour like this was common after 1410. The helmet, a great bascinet, was fashionable 1420-1450. The groin- or fork-guard is found on English brasses 1411-1426 and on the tomb of the Wolf of Badenoch, died 1405, in Dunkeld Cathedral. Knightly effigies usually depicted the armour fashionable at the time of carving - perhaps some years after the death. By the 15th century, fashion changed rapidly as plate was refined and improved, and mail became out of date. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
