| 説明 | The Erpingham Gate, erected directly opposite the west front of the cathedral, was built around 1420. It was funded by Sir Thomas Erpingham, Chief Steward to Henry IV and V and leader of the division of Archers who decisively won the Battle of Agincourt.The gate was built to form a unified decorative scheme with the imposing west front of the cathedral. It consists of a single tall, slender arch, supported by stone vaulting. On the outer facade (facing Tombland) the gable above the arch is decorated with flintwork, with a central statue niche.Inside the niche is a kneeling figure of Sir Thomas Erpingham, the man who gave the gate to the city. The archway is heavily carved with figures of saints; 12 female saints on the outer moulding and 12 male saints on the inner. |
