Description
Katharine Maltwood's Grail Frieze is an inscribed bas-relief featuring abstract linear patterns, created by the sculptor in the 1920s. It is located against the south garden wall at Chilton Priory. The frieze measures approximately 4 meters in length and is made from large stone ashlar blocks. It has an irregular, stepped top and is inscribed with a quote from Sir William Dugdale’s Monasticum Anglicanum, published in 1655, which recounts the arrival of St. Joseph of Arimathea in Britain.
