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 two-humped dromedary against a background of palms. It is supported by a horned wyvern on either side.
