St Michael's Pant dates from 1759 which makes it the second oldest surviving pant in Alnwick. It was built by Matthew Mills, at a cost of about £60, from a design by Mr. Bell, architect, for which he was paid £ 1 16s. St Michael and Dragon (the symbol of the Town) stand on top of a traceried octagonal drum, he carries shield with a cross patonce. A worn gargoyle spouts into large square trough.
