Misericords depicting animals

Dromedary with palm leaves

More misericords, the first two again from Stratford. The strange-looking animal between the two monsters above is a dromedary, presumably carved by someone who had never seen a camel. The fine stag below is being ridden by a naked woman for some reason.

The lions’ heads misericord is from another Holy Trinity church, this time in Coventry city centre.
