Ah yes! Silly me; I should leave such things until later in the day. 
Thanks to all who responded and clarified. I missed that the board 
clearly refers to St Lawrence although the item is about St Clement. I 
assumed that the front five were being referred to. However the claim to 
be the oldest "set" of five did mislead me into thinking that a "set" 
cast together as such was intended.
