People, green men, saints, and angels

These photographs are all taken in Norfolk medieval churches and are to the best of my knowledge  of medieval carvings. It is a part of my attempt to rationalise my photos of medieval carving in Norfolk. There are scenes from every day life, biblical figures and messages, and green men and angels. More detailed information on the carving can be found in an earlier post
