Norman Carving

We were delighted to be face-to-face with this wonderful pillar piscina once again. Decorated in characteristic Norman style, this is a wonderful and rare survivor. The scene depicted here at Swannington church is St George pushing a lance into the mouth of the dragon. The carver, long dead; his art lives on!
