Description
![]() To the right of our first green man, this fine eighteenth-century foliate head supports yet another striking memorial. Here the foliage sweeps up from the brow area and out from the nose, like a moustache. Two round eyes are practically popping out of their sockets, and two pointy ears show this is a being from outside the mundane world. Also at Westwood
