Question: What type of external decoration does this church have?

Instruction: With the provided image, gather documents that offer a solution to the question:

It dates its founding to 1107 after Henry I of England granted the lands and castle to Robert de Beaumont, although the chronicler Henry Knighton implies that an Anglo-Saxon college of St Mary had existed and Robert merely refurbished it. Robert established it within the castle bailey as a college served by a Dean and 12 Canons (that is, a collegiate church) in honour of the Virgin Mary and All Souls and as a chantry chapel for the souls of him, his family and the first three Norman kings. He endowed this and four other churches with £6 of his income and land in or near the city. However, in 1143 these endowments were all transferred by his son Robert le Bossu, 2nd Earl of Leicester, to his own new Augustinian foundation of Leicester Abbey. The collegiate church retained, or had restored to it a dean, six clerks and a chaplain, along with Robert de Beaumont's grant of 20 shillings for lamps. It also retained parish offerings and most of the tithes. The collegiate nature of the church lasted until the college was disbanded in 1548 under the Chantry Act of Edward VI.
The early-12th-century church had no aisles, and various parts of these walls survive. It underwent a major expansion in the 1160, with a north aisle, doorways to north and west, and an extension to the chancel. The two doorways provide striking external Norman zigzag decoration, but it is the Sedilia and Piscina in the Chancel extension that Pevsner describes as "the finest piece of Norman decoration in the county". Thirteenth-century alterations culminated in a major reworking of transepts and south aisle, to create an aisle wider than the nave, providing much more space for local parishioners. Also the huge east window of the south aisle, with ingenious tracery, was created around 1300. The tower was built inside the south aisle, apparently as an afterthought, rising to a quatrefoil frieze, four decorated pinnacles, and the needlelike spire rising from the battlements. The spire was completely rebuilt in 1783, but retained its crockets and three tiers of lucarnes. The interior was worked on by George Gilbert Scott throughout the 1860s.

Question: On what day in july 1894 was the cornerstone laid for the new city hall in this square?

Instruction: Extract documents linked to the question provided in conjunction with the image:

In the 1880s, plans were conceived to build a new city hall on the grounds, and in 1888, the expo area was cleared. An architecture competition was held in early 1889. Apart from Nyrop, who won the competition, Vilhelm Dahlerup and Valdemar Koch were among the participating architects. The design of the city hall was greatly inspired by the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena, Italy, and the design of the square was accordingly modeled on the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo outside that building.
On 28 July 1894, the foundation stone was laid. When it was inaugurated in 1905, the square in front of it became one of the most central and important spaces of the city.
The square was redesigned in 1995 and 1996 by KHR Architects, on the occasion of Copenhagen being the European Capital of Culture. The intersecting street leading from Vesterbrogade to Strøget was removed, uniting the two sides of the square. A bus hub was built on the northern side of the square.
In 2010, work began on a metro station on the site, requiring a major reorganisation of the site, with work was opened on 29 September 2019.

Clare Abbey, originally called the "Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul at Kilmony", was founded in 1189, under the sponsorship of Domnall Mór Ua Briain (Donald O'Brien), the king of Thomond. The Abbey, granted to an order of Augustinian Canons, was the largest and most important of the Augustinian monasteries in County Clare. The other Augustinian monasteries are: the Canon Island Abbey, the Inchicronan Priory, the Killone Nunnery and the Abbey at Kilshanny.
The Canons, also known as "Canons Regular", were an order of priests from Italy who followed the rule of St. Augustine. Their primary focus was parish work and "the care of souls". They lived simply, much like their parishioners. The Canons adapted easily to Irish medieval life, as it was very similar to their monastic lives back in Italy.  The number of Canon orders continued to grow after the twelfth century. By the thirteenth century, they were the largest order in Ireland.
The name, Kimony, mentioned in early medieval documents, ("the church on the bog"), suggests that Clare  Abbey was built on the site of an earlier church. The only remains of an older structure are possibly the bullaun in a block of granite and a stone carving over one of the abbey's windows. The monastery was built on a strip of land extending out in the Fergus river flood plain. Archaeologist, Thomas Johnson Westropp in 1900, describes the exposed and less than ideal siting of the abbey as being located in a grassland area, surrounded by marshy land prone to flooding by the River Fergus. He suggested that the site was chosen because it was a sacred site, another indication of an earlier church on in the area.
In 1278, Clare Abbey was the site of a legendary battle in the civil war between Toirdhealbhach Mór Ó Briain and Thomas de Clare. Donallbeg O'Brien ambushed and massacred Mahon O'Brien and his followers, billeted temporarily at the abbey, as they were making a hasty retreat.
The bloody aftermath was described in the medieval chronicle, Caithréim Thoirdhealbhaigh (Wars of Torlough):
'The rout of the Abbey on Mahon O'Brien' became a proverb in the mouths of clan Torlagh. Unfortunately the matter did not end in honorable battle, but left a stain on Donallbeg's bravery and his followers. They captured many of the 'soldiers, fair-haired women, little boys, servants, kerne, horseboys, and herdsmen, making of them one universal litter of slaughter, butchering both prisoners and cattle in the bog of Moonshade, between Furroor and Dysert'.
— Westropp (1900)
In the thirteenth century, the two leading clans of County Clare, the O’Briens and the Macnamaras, changed their family burial places to Ennis Friary and Quin Abbey. Within a few years, most of the local chieftains had abandoned the Augustinian monasteries and the monastic buildings fell into disrepair." After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1543, the abbey and surrounding lands, now the civil parish of Clareabbey, were given to the Barons of Ibrackan by King Henry VIII of England. The monks appeared to have continued to live in the abbey until around 1650.

The monastery was built on a strip of land extending out in the Fergus river flood plain. Archaeologist, Thomas Johnson Westropp in 1900, describes the exposed and less than ideal siting of the abbey as being located in a grassland area, surrounded by marshy land prone to flooding by the River Fergus. He suggested that the site was chosen because it was a sacred site, another indication of an earlier church on in the area.
In 1278, Clare Abbey was the site of a legendary battle in the civil war between Toirdhealbhach Mór Ó Briain and Thomas de Clare. Donallbeg O'Brien ambushed and massacred Mahon O'Brien and his followers, billeted temporarily at the abbey, as they were making a hasty retreat.
The bloody aftermath was described in the medieval chronicle, Caithréim Thoirdhealbhaigh (Wars of Torlough):
'The rout of the Abbey on Mahon O'Brien' became a proverb in the mouths of clan Torlagh. Unfortunately the matter did not end in honorable battle, but left a stain on Donallbeg's bravery and his followers. They captured many of the 'soldiers, fair-haired women, little boys, servants, kerne, horseboys, and herdsmen, making of them one universal litter of slaughter, butchering both prisoners and cattle in the bog of Moonshade, between Furroor and Dysert'.

In the thirteenth century, the two leading clans of County Clare, the O’Briens and the Macnamaras, changed their family burial places to Ennis Friary and Quin Abbey. Within a few years, most of the local chieftains had abandoned the Augustinian monasteries and the monastic buildings fell into disrepair." After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1543, the abbey and surrounding lands, now the civil parish of Clareabbey, were given to the Barons of Ibrackan by King Henry VIII of England. The monks appeared to have continued to live in the abbey until around 1650.

Clare Abbey, originally called the "Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul at Kilmony", was founded in 1189, under the sponsorship of Domnall Mór Ua Briain (Donald O'Brien), the king of Thomond. The Abbey, granted to an order of Augustinian Canons, was the largest and most important of the Augustinian monasteries in County Clare. The other Augustinian monasteries are: the Canon Island Abbey, the Inchicronan Priory, the Killone Nunnery and the Abbey at Kilshanny.
The Canons, also known as "Canons Regular", were an order of priests from Italy who followed the rule of St. Augustine. Their primary focus was parish work and "the care of souls". They lived simply, much like their parishioners. The Canons adapted easily to Irish medieval life, as it was very similar to their monastic lives back in Italy.  The number of Canon orders continued to grow after the twelfth century. By the thirteenth century, they were the largest order in Ireland.
