| Description (Catalog Card): | Terracotta relief. A bull-legged demon facing right. Broken in half but virtually complete. The body is in profile with the left leg advanced, and hands held in front of body holding a staff, the head is full-face. The figure is nude except for a belt; he wears the bulls horn headdress and has bulls ears, but the face is human, with long elaborately curled beard. From the waist downwards the body is that of a bull. Bold but conventional work, the upper part in high relief, the legs flat and poor. It was painted bright red all over with black on the beard and eyes; ground also red. The red paint had mixed with the soil & formed a powdery covering as much as .002 thickness, concealing the fgure; much of that next to the clay was preserved and some was replaced.1 |

 | No. 1 Church Lane | Off the corner of Church Lane and Straight Street. This house is combined with Straight Street 1, rooms 1,2,3. , The chapel occupied a corner site fronting on Carfax; the main door of the chapel proper opened on Church Lane and a subsidiary entrance which served the little rooms probably appropriated to the officiating priests opened on Straight Street. Such changes as were made in the building during its existence did not involve any raising of its floor level; from the beginning this was well above the street. The walls, most of which had suffered severely, were of later date, constructionally, than those of the neighbouring house, No. 3 Church Lane, onto which they abutted. | (none) |
