Description
The carved bear located north-east 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 bears and is likely in its original position at a corner of the medieval churchyard. The bear is thought to represent the final part of a four-part story, depicting the bear having eaten its attacker and appearing extremely satisfied.
