Description

The misericords in Worcester Cathedral date from 1379, with several modern additions. The misericords represent biblical scenes, nine Labours of the Months, and scenes of everyday life. This misericord represents the month of August: three men use sickles to reap corn, supported on by three sheaves of corn on either side.
