A HISTORY OF DERBYSHIRE 



St. George and the Dragon. The figure of the lady whom the saint is rescuing is seen 

 between the forepaws of the dragon. 



The capitals of the columns from which the four vaulting ribs of the roof of the apse 

 spring are sculptured with the Temptation of Adam and Eve, a pair of doves, grotesque heads, 

 and foliage. 



The boss where the vaulting ribs meet at the top has upon it a medallion enclosing the 

 Agnus Dei. 



Wirkyworth. There is in the church here a rectangular stone sculptured with the figure 

 of a man holding a basket in his right hand and a hoe in the left. Perhaps this may be one 

 of a series symbolising the twelve months by the occupations characteristic of the different 

 times of the year, as on the Norman fonts at Brookland in Kent and Burnham Deepdale in 

 Norfolk. 1 



Having now described the various examples of Norman sculpture in 

 Derbyshire we are able to give a list of the subjects which occur upon 

 them.
