Description
The carved bear located southwest of the Church of St Andrew is a medieval sculpture made of red sandstone, standing about 4 feet high. It is one of a group of four carvings and is likely in its original position at a corner of the medieval churchyard. The bear is thought to represent the second part of a four-part story, where a small animal, possibly a cat or a lynx, has jumped onto the bear's back. The bear's head is turned as it attempts to see its attacker.
