"Boss Hog"

St Peters, Walpole St Peters, Norfolk


St Peters, Walpole St Peter, Norfolk

In many of our Christian churches are some very unchristian carvings which were probably transfered into the churches from much older building, some would say as a way of appeasing the Pagans whose buildings were being replaced. In St Peters are a number of ancient stone carvings, of which the one above is my favorite. I'm not sure what creature it is supposed to represent but at a quick glance it does remind me of a pig with a snout a vicious looking teeth. It doesn't have any piggy ears and from my experience pigs are usually much friendlier looking than this.

St Peters is a magnificent church with grand proportions and it is usually open for visiting.
