Collection of stone fragments in grounds of Mercy Convent. Described in the Urban Survey (Bradley et. al. 1989, 333) as following; 'Gathered in the garden are a number of dressed stones including one which appears to be part of a chimney mantle with the initials WMC, heraldic shields and tracery. There is also a stone with the letters SFA and another stone with a fragmentary Latin letttered inscription'. Most probably came from cloister of Dominican Priory (LI005-015047-) but 'some pieces of elaborate foliated carvings probably come from a tomb or sedelia' (Twohig 1995, 110 & Illus. 8b).
