This worn figure that sits on one of the steps of Trinity Bridge in Crowland is thought to be that of either Christ or King Ethelbald. Also, it is thought that he originally resided on the west front of the village's famous abbey.

When I looked at him I wondered how many people he had seen pass beneath him in all those past centuries. I also thought, if he could talk, I would ask him if he knew who wrote the libelous entry in the Crowland Chronicle about Richard III.
