Jacks missing!

The famous quarterjacks on Bristol's Christ Church with St Ewen are taking a rest. They were rescued from a mediaeval church (Holy Trinity) that had stood near this spot until redevelopment. Once lost, they were found years later in a builder’s yard in Bath and installed in the new church in 1791. The new church kept the figures to strike the quarter-hour; however, they have needed some significant remedial work of late.
