This foliage-spewer is a second cat-like beast.  He can be found on the east corner of the porch, and like all four of the green men on this church, must date from its building in 1856, from a design by Mr Gabriel of Bristol.

Also at Bowden Hill

  • Three more green men
  • Sir William Sharington's conduit house opposite the church
  • A very fine viewpoint over Lacock and the valley
