Statement of Interest

Sited to NE of Parish Church, beside the road at a lower

level. Finial described as rosetted cardinal's hat, and in

local legend the tenure of Biel depends on the retention

of the hat. Richardson propose a cross finial in the

restoration, no doubt by-passed because of the latter myth.

De-scheduled 11.12.98.
