Another Green Man or Jack 0' the Woods, carved in elm, and heavily oiled to withstand outside exposure. The "face among the leaves" is an ancient fertility figure to be found in many parts of the world. In this country often found in remote corners of churches and cathedrals, where carvers thought it wise to acknowledge both old and new religions.
