A bust of Queen Elizabeth, wearing a royal crown, on the corner of the former sexton’s house (now a restaurant). The bust rests on a four-sided plinth reminiscent of castle walls with corner towers, with the inscription. Beneath thise are three coats of arms: that of the Přemyslid with an eagle, that of the king of Bohemia with a lion and between these that of the chapter, crossed keys beneath a crosier and a mitre.
The bust was unveiled in 1995 to mark the 665th anniversary of the Queen’s death.
