Wrestling Misericord
The Priory church of St Peter in Thurgarton was founded c1119 - 1139 by Ralph de Ayncourt for Augustinian canons. Along with other monasteries it was dissolved in 1534. The tower was originally one of a pair. The Great West Door to the far left is all that remains of the original medieval priory.
Although the chancel was added in 1852, there are still 3 C15th choir stalls with misericords. These include carved heads, figures and foliage.
This misericord is now detached and shows figures wrestling.
