Section Of Churchyard Wall At East End Of Churchyard Of St Swithun'S With Built In Fragments And Two Seats

This is a section of the churchyard wall located at the east end of the churchyard of St. Swithun's, built around 1870. The wall incorporates fragments of 12th-century Romanesque carving and features two ashlar seats. The structure consists of rubble walls with ashlar seats and hoods, along with freestone carving. On the left side, there are two plain ashlar seats set in recesses and covered by stone hoods supported by brackets. On the right side, there is a shallow, plain piscina with a segmental head. Beneath a flat stone hood on brackets, the Romanesque fragments include a much-mutilated figure, possibly of an angel or a bishop (St. Swithin), flanked by two engaged columns adorned with Chevron and bead decoration and coarse cushion-type capitals. Additionally, there are fragments of a decorated round arch featuring dogtooth moulding.
