Bishop on Garden Structure
Type Medallion , Sculpture
Figure of a bishop on a shield. He is robed and holding a crosier in his right hand across his body. He is facing front with his left hand on an animal but it is impossible to tell what it is, a lamb or a deer? This could be the figure of a shepherd. The animal is standing up on its hind legs with the front legs on the figure, resting against him as if off the ground. Some decoration above the shield. It is set above a Norman arch with zigzag mouldings supported by a slim pillar on either side, the right one is missing. This is part of a ruined structure, brick faced on the front with knapped flint and stones.
On last viewing this was entirely covered with ivy.
