The holed Bargain Stone outside St Peter's in Wolverhampton City Centre. It is believed bargains, probably deals on wool traded from the Welsh Marches, would have been sealed with a handshake through this stone. It is thought to be a well weathered and broken gargoyle, with the hole having been the drainage. Don't miss the huge Anglo Saxon cross shaft nearby.
