- Synopsis
- This is a choir screen supported by 4 pairs of circular columns, one pair either side of the rounded arches. Standing on a ledge above each pair of columns are the figures of St Peter, the Virgin and Child, St John the Evangelist and St Paul. Above these figures, set in a 2 columned recess, are four further figures of men bearing shields of arms. Between these recessed figures are 3 larger figures standing on semi-circular brackets. These figures are Faith, Charity and Hope. The tactile image should be read sideways and shows the basic shapes of the choir screen. The key to the image is at the end of this section. Statue labels are always above the statue and as near to them as possible. Solid texture shows the position of the figures, candle sticks, base of columns, 2 columned recess and balustrade. The shields of the 4 figures in the recesses are shown as an outline with slightly textured centre. A rough texture shows the columns. A very rough texture shows the areas of detailed decoration. Key: 2 - a pair of columns C - Charity F - Faith H - Hope J - St John the Evangelist PA - St Paul PE - St Peter S - man bearing shield of arms V - Virgin and Child.
