The vigorous carving on the capitals of the twelfth century pillars which flank the cathedrals nave have inspired the coaster’s silver gallery. Its whorls of Norman tracery have been interwoven with the leopard’s heads of Cantilupe. Three leopards’ heads, reversed and transfixed with fleur de lys, formed the coat of arms of St Thomas Cantilupe, and became the Arms of the Diocese, adorn the centre of the coaster.
(On original order form these were available either in silver or silver full-gilt.)
