These loggerheads are to be found well outside Shropshire, in some stained-glass at Holy Name Church in Oxton near Liverpool. Yet the Shrewsbury connection is very strong.
Oxton is inside the Roman Catholic diocese of Shrewsbury (which covers a huge area).
The section of glass you see here surmounts a window dedicated to St Winefride, the patron saint of Shrewsbury.
And the stained-glass piece itself was actually made by Margaret Agnes Rope, probably the finest artist ever to have been born in Shropshire.
It all connects!
