Carved stone

Carved from Bath Stone in the form of foliage, this leaf tip is almost certainly from a medieval church. It was found with a dozen other pieces of architectural stone including mullions and window surrounds. The blocks were used by a house-builder as hardcore in the 1950s and was probably rubble left over from the Bristol blitz.
