Those
interested in the recurring theme of the three hares arranged
in a circle joined by the ears (a feature in a number of medieval
English churches), might like to have a look at this site,

"It displays the results of the first phase of 'The Three

creatures resembling hares or rabbits. These are combined in a
clever design, which includes only three ears but which gives
the impression that each beast has two of its own."
