  • This common seal probably dates from about 1291 when Edward I gave their Charter to the burgesses of Haverford. The obverse depicts a single-masted ship with fore-stay, back-stay, shrouds and halliards, a clinker-built hull, a sider rudder, and embattled fore-, after-, and top-castles from which bowmen could shoot down upon the decks of an enemy ship. In the foreground a mariner is blowing a horn, in the after-castle another is sounding a trumpet. The counter-seal shows a castle with gatehouse; on the tower a man is blowing a trumpet; underneath is a wyvern (a two legged dragon) with a lion rampant to the left and a perched eagle to the right.

  • These wood carvings were removed when the church was restored at the end of the 19th century. They probably formed part of the roof decoration, the largest almost certainly being a roof boss. The predominant decorative theme is clearly leafy and floral. The finest piece shows the 'Green Man' or ('Jack in the street'). Originally this was probably the personification of the spirit in the pagan tree-symbol. The Church adopted it and it became a common theme in ecclesiastical carving.
