Lions


The York Coat of Arms contains five lions, and it is a symbol that can be seen on many door knockers in the city. No surprise then to find four fine stone examples of the beasts holding up a seat under a city centre sundial.

  1. Of course, why there should be lions on the coat of arms of a part of the world that probably has never known lions . . .

  2. We get lions here in various parts of the city decor as well, both government and private places. These ones do look quite enduring.
