Bugthorpe

St Andrew's

SE 772 579

The chancel arch of this church bears some interesting carvings but unfortunately they are whitewashed over. Some of the detail is discernible but much is left to guesswork. It is believed that one of the figures is a sheela-na-gig (shown first) and another is an anguipede (shown second). There are also a couple of green man type carvings (shown third and fourth).
