Report a Green Man

This unusual green 'man' can be found inside the parish church, in the south-east corner of the south transept, about five feet off the ground.  It is a decorative water-stoup.

This green man appears to have the head of an ape, with a wide mouth and snub nose.  He is spewing foliage rather like oak leaves, and his eyebrows seem to flow directly from broad bridge of his nose.
