The figure on the south face of the Fawcett campanile shows St Katherine (the local idiosyncratic spelling) of Alexandria, patron saint of scholars and co-patroness of the chapel. The wheel on which she was martyred forms her halo; she tells the points of philosophy on her fingers and spurns with her feet a worldly crown. The sculptor was John Poole (1960).
