Description

The carved bear, located southeast of the Church of St Andrew, is an upright sculpture made of red sandstone and stands about 4 feet high. This medieval carving is one of a group of four and is likely in its original position at one corner of the medieval churchyard. It is believed to represent the third part of a four-part story, depicting the bear making a vigorous attempt to dislodge the animal clinging to its back by reaching over its shoulder with its right paw.
