   From this pier opens a large pointed arch into the chancel, and on the dexter spandril of this arch stands painted the whole-length figure of a king, royally vested and crowned, holding in his left hand a sceptre, his right hand and arm being extended towards an opposite figure of a pilgrim.¹
   The figure of the pilgrim,² on the sinister spandril of the arch, is of smaller dimensions than that of the king. He is bearded; his arms and legs uncovered, but his body clothed in a garment formed of sheepskins, the tufts of wool being shown upon it.
