St Martin's Church
Holt, Worcestershire WR6 - England, UK

Map
Built of red sandstone, this twelfth Century church is famous for the fascinating Romanesque sculpture to be found inside. One wall holds a statue of the Green man shown with foliage emerging from his mouth. Capitals of many pillars are carved, the most prominent being a grinning fox with ribbed nose and forehead indicating wrinkles, notched eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. Nearby is a carving of a bird, and it is thought these illustrate Aesop's fable of the fox and the stork. The font is also carved, the bowl being encircled by six faces of the Green Man, with vine links emerging from their open mouths and ears.
