Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 1 Jun 2014
A 14th century carving incorporated into the north wall of the nave http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4015748 which was rebuilt in 1739-40. The accidental juxtaposition of the stone to the right of the head gives the impression of someone swimming, the irregular bedding of the surrounding stones giving a watery texture.
