Within three lateral niches, undera triple gothic-style canopy of late design, centre: St.Asaph standing in eucharistic vestments with pastoral staff held in his left hand (its crook turned outwards), his right hand upraised in blessing; dexter: the diocesan bishop similarly attired, kneeling in veneration, his hands clasped in prayer (its crook turned towards him); sinister: a holy abbess standing, probably St.Winifride, holding her crook (turned outwards) with her keft hand, in herright hand an uncertain object, perhapsa reliquary; below: in a round-arched niche, the dean to font in prayer, to either side of him some seven canons facing inwards and also kneeling in devotion. (D.R.Thomas, The History of the Diocese of St. Asaph, Oswestry, 1908, I, 376-7, quotes another view that the central kneeling figure is that of St.Kentigern, the founder of the diocese, and that the kneeling bishop is St.Asaph: this is not proven as one would expect St.Asaph to be haloed - as are both the standing figures). Foliage in field. In the legend a sprig occurs between each word.
