Full Description
This monument represents an archway that is said to have originally been part of St Michael’s Church (CHER 10076), possibly dating to the twelfth century, that had been relocated to its current position in Grosvenor Park. Although it is not certain, it is thought to have been removed from the church in 1849 or 1850, when it was rebuilt by Thomas Harrison. The arch is round, with a hollow chamfer, an arris-mould on the east face, and a gabled hoodmould (1, 2, 3). Please see the linked listed building record for additional structural detail.
