Romsey Abbey - North Side
|
|
|
|
The crozier bearing sheela-na-gig abbess occupies a modest spot just above several centuries of door and window history on the abbey's north transept wall.
|
|
This rare "birthing corbel" is near the Sheela-Na-Gig. It is probably a 1800s copy of a similar medieval representation.
|
|
On the other side of the transept, a Saxon Rood (cross) just outside the prioress' door, which originally would have been a corner of the cloister.
