      The carvings were often quite odd – there was a bizarre difference between religious icons and cruder, everyday images – almost story-telling about everyday life. There was also a St Melor who was maimed – perhaps this refers to him? Clearly a lot of study time is needed.

        I love researching the stories behind the artwork.. And trying to understand the symbolism is a lifetime’s occupation!

I would love to hear from you!
