Description

A scallop capital, column and base have been re-erected in the shrubbery bordering the square. The capital was so large it was made in two pieces. The column may not be full-height. The features are much eroded.

History

There is no known history of these pieces.

Comments/Opinions

Due to scale of the pieces, especially the capital, it is possible they came from St George's.

The multi-scallop capital might be compared to those at Kirkstall Abbey.

Jackson (1855) illustrates two-scallop capitals from the ruins of the church, and although they are only double and triple-scallop, their style is similar.
