About Sativola

Iconography In art, Sidwell is represented with a scythe and a well at her side. St Sidwells, formerly a village now part of Exeter, bears her name and she appears in stained glass in Exeter Cathedral as well as in the chapel at Oxford's All Souls College and the parish church of Ashton in Devon. She is also depicted on at least seven painted rood screens around the same county. There is also a statue of her in the Sacred Heart Church in South Street in Exeter.

The sculpture in Sidwell Street was created by Bideford artist Fred Irving in 1969 and is made of fibreglass.
