Report a Green Man

This small foliage-spewer is yet another to be found on the Hume monument by Hopper, against the west wall of the Cathedral's south transept.  It forms part of the decorations on the highest part of the canopy above the monument's right-hand figure.  The lips are closed in the centre, forming a figure-of-eight with the foliage issuing from the open ends of the eight.

Also at Salisbury

• Many more examples of the green man at the Cathedral and elsewhere
• In the chapter house, a rare example of a triple head
• In the nave, a fourteenth-century clock, restored in 1956, formerly in the (now demolished) bell-tower.
