1989 - The Sir John Swinford Memorial.
The fine detail of the carving of the figure of Sir John Swinford is clearly shown in this photograph. The pattern round the edge of his helmet, and the intricacies of the chain mail, have been carefully carved. The SS decoration round his neck denotes him as a follower of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and is believed to be the earliest representation of this collar in sculpture.
