The weather vane depicts the Old Father Of Time. As it is adjacent to the Durham Uni cricket ground, I suspect the words "bail" relates to the cricket term. If not, I am sure someone will put me straight.

Photograph taken is on Old University Library.... I think it relates to a coat of arms or symbol for the Bishop of Durham. I believe that the Church donated the buildings here between the Cathedral and the Castle.
