At the easternmost end, St. George and the Dragon. This saint represents the fight and subsequent victory of good over evil. Here he is attired as for a joust, with a lance and jousting shield. Perhaps the sculptor had not seen a soldier armed for war, but only a participant in this sport. The horse’s harness and the saint’s armour are shown in careful detail. The dragon is particularly large and repulsive.

Withersfield, Suffolk A Mermaid. She would originally have held a mirror. These creatures symbolised the lusts of the flesh, and the Church used them to turn people away from temptation and consequent disaster.

Withersfield, Suffolk A collared and chained Swan. This is the badge of Henry V, subsequently used by his successor. This poppyhead must have been carved when there was a Lancastrian king on the throne, probably Henry VI, and signify loyalty to him.

A ‘Pelican in its Piety’ with four chicks in a nest. It was believed that the pelican pecked at its own breast to feed its young with its blood. It symbolised Christ shedding his own blood for mankind. The leaves and fruits of the plants on which the nest rests are particularly finely carved.

Withersfield, Suffolk A youth holding the shield of St George. The red cross on a white ground is the Banner of the Resurrection, the Christian symbol of Victory over Death.
