The Roof

The Roof of Redwall Abbey is a section often inaccessible to most residents of the Abbey. It is marked by turrets, spires and crenelations which can only be seen by birds, such as the Sparra colony. The roof features four birds carved in stone placed at the cardinal points. These statues indicate the direction in which the respective birds travel each season.

The roof also features a weathervane pointing North. This is where Rufe Brush attached the Sword of Martin and where Jess Squirrel and Matthias attempted to find it several generations later.
