Description
In 1979 a weathered and damaged corbel was found in the garden of Friary West (EHER 38232). It is carved in the form of a beast or monster head. The long nose must have gripped the moulding on which it is carved. It is possibly from the cloister of the Carmelite Friary (EHER 7728). It is illustrated in this source. <1>
The find was retained by the owner in 1985. <2>
Note: This record was previously mapped with a polygon which included most of the area to the west and north of Friary West (the car park) but the mapping has been reduced to reflect the extent of the garden, as described by <1>.
