Two lay with their legs crossed, as being from the Crusades. Six others rested their feet upon lions, as having died in war.

The Black Death reached Herefordshire in 1349, and Bishop Trilleck is said to have kept it at bay in the city by a procession of the shrine of the recently canonised St. Thomas of Hereford. Bishop Trilleck was buried in the cathedral, and a fine brass effigy was placed on his grave.
