More about this scene
The west door of the church, a fine example of Norman work, was removed from the earlier building and incorporated into Bishop Grandisson's extension. On each side of the door are stanchions, which are thought to be for resting a proclamation stage. If that theory is correct, this is where a large glove could have been displayed to open the medieval market and fair.
