Description

A late 19th century carved stone statue is located about 80 metres west-south-west of the west front of the Abbey Church of St Michael and All Angels. It is set on a plinth made of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings. The plinth is square in shape and features a moulded base and cap of ashlar. The statue depicts St Michael dressed in armour, wearing a cloak and a helmet topped with a star-shaped finial. His left foot rests on the body of a dying dragon. In his left arm, he holds a shield, while his right hand raises a bronze sword with a sinuous blade.
