Between two angels, the Christ offers a blessing. -A motif more usual in France than England at the time- says Pevsner. But European orders were establishing their monasteries here, and it would be strange if the travelling brothers did not bring back news of Continental fashions. (Photo Apr 2008). See also my pictures of early medieval sculpture at St Mary and St Hardulph, Breedon on the Hill, Leics.
