Description
A row of five figures on the upper level of the west side of the South Porch. These figures are thought to represent Old Testament kings- possibly the ancestors of Christ (Houvet, p. 13). The leftmost is Kind David; he holds a harp and stands on a small figure that may represent Jesse.
Compare to the "Gallery of Kings" on the West Facade and the figures flanking the gables on the south side of the South Porch.
Much Restored
