WARNING THIS POST CONTAINS DETAILS AND IMAGES WHICH SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND OFFENSIVE
In my collection of church photographs I have a large number of images of Royal Arms. Often at the time of taken these it is hard to see much details. They are mounted high on walls in darks churches and usually have a thick layer of accumulated dirt hiding the details. Once home with the help of various tools in Photoshop and Topaz Adjust it is usually possible to reveal much more. This was certainly the case with teh Royal Arms from Holcot. Dating back to 1711 it features a lion and a unicorn supporting the arms with a wonderful background. A closer look though reveals that these two really are magnificent beasts, see below. Whether this was a little daring joke by the artist or whether he wanted to show the power and strength of these fertile creatures I'm not sure.
Holcot church is usually open for visiting
