Malton
St Michael

This plaque bearing two figures can be found on the north wall of St Michael's church which sits in the market place of Malton. The church has found fame as the one in which James Herriot got married in the original film version of All Creatures Great and Small.

There appears to be two figures here, each extending a hand towards the other's genital area. There has been some discussion as to whether there is an animal between the two figures. The plaque is quite worn (damaged?) so it is difficult to make out. It is also high on the church wall so viewing it is difficult too.
