The National Monuments Service's description
Set into the wall of a niche, above the Butler effigial tomb (TS083-019086-) in the NW angle of the church of the Franciscan friary (TS083-019003-). This side panel dates from the first half of the 16th century and is described by Hunt (1974, vol. 1, 226) as 'consisting of a series of five or six saints in niches with foliated spandrels, divided by buttresses. The carving is hard and angular in type. The figures are much disfigured by modern cement repairs and some have been transposed from their correct niches, which are labelled. The figures are: 1 St Paul, with sword; 2 St Simon; and three or four fragmentary figures, arbitrarily assembled'.
