Description

The Holy Trinity Church has 28 misericords dating from the 15th century. Described by Pevsner as "most entertaining even if no great shakes as sculpture" they depict human figures, mythical beasts, and foliate motifs. The misericord in this photograph, on the north side of the chancel, depicts a naked woman riding a stag. The woman holds flowers in her right hand, and her left hand is outstretched towards a scroll. The figures are flanked on either side by trees, and supported by leaves.
