| Description On a 17th-century panel, in front of the organ in Hullavington church, we find two mythological beast-heads spewing stylised foliage. They are perhaps some kind of griffin. The panel itself shows the biblical story of the sacrifice of Isaac by his father Abraham, and was perhaps once part of an overmantel. Also at Hullavington
