I believe that the misericords you refer to are at St Martin's church in Worle, in the choir stalls. I'm one of the team vicars in Worle and have been told this several times.

Apparently it was suggested in WW2 that the Pope might take refuge in England, and Woodspring was suggested as his residence - in which case it would have been a sort of Vatican on the Wold.Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.com
