I have been away for a couple of days and returned feeling exhausted.
Staying at a large country house hotel, I had some free time Friday afternoon and walked through the snow to look at the village.
The church was open and I had a look round and found this heraldic carving.
As you can see, it shows a Templar cross on a continental shield (although the carving was English and included English text) with the crescent device that indicates it was used by a second son.
The shield is between the wide-open legs of a naked woman, indicating the origin of the family's bloodline.
Below the shield is a chalice.
On the scrolls at the side are what appear to be numbers.
Very mysterious.
