Extract :

A deeply carved relief is set in a small portico above a small retail outlet on Chapel Walk and often goes unnoticed on this very busy, narrow thoroughfare. The relief used to act as the street sign to the art gallery that was housed above, and the name; 'HOWARD GALLERY' appears as a raised relief across a ribboned banner supported by two groups of trees, in a depiction of a wooded copse. To the left there is a group of Lemon trees, bearing fruits, and to the right are Oak trees with acorns. These are carved in high relief and display an impressive skill, showing great detail in the depiction of all aspects including an abundance of leaves which appear to be tumbling over one another.
