Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: St Oswald's spire, west wall The two statues are modern (1970s) replacing earlier statues destroyed by iconoclasts. St Oswald is on the left, St Anthony on the right, beside the pig which is associated with him. Being carved from one of the stones of the wall it was more difficult to dislodge this image, so it has survived. Known as the 'Winwick pig', legend has it that the church builders wanted to build the church below the rock upon which it stands. Each night the pig would destroy their efforts and carry stones up the hill, until the builders decided to take the hint. |
