Stone carving 2


Last year David carved a "Green Man", based on a Green Man in Wells Cathedral, Somerset. Wells is said to be the smallest city in England and the Cathedral there is one of the two seats (or Cathedras) of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. Green Men go back a long time in history and there are various explanations of their origins, significance and meaning. One common theme is that they are fertility symbols.
