	English Sheela-na-gigs
		The Kilpeck sheela-na-gig sits high on a quoin on the splendid Church of St. Mary and St. David.
		He illustrates the figure as a man with a hole in his chest, and writes "the cut in his chest, the way to his heart, denotes that is always open and to all alike".
		Now some sheelas are quite worn and it would be easy to misinterpret them, but the Kilpeck sheela is so well-preserved, and so clearly an exhibitionist figure, that Lewis' writings are certainly a Victorian attempt to gloss over this overtly explicit figure on his beloved church.

	Kilpeck historic church, Herefordshire travel and tourism information
		Kilpeck is famous for the wealth of ebullient carvings left by the 11th century masons; there are dozens of amusing, grotesque, and intricate carvings around the doors, windows, and roof line of the church.
		The church at Kilpeck is unusual for its rounded apse; this is not a common element in English parish churches, though not unique by any means.
		The same masons who worked on Kilpeck were also responsible for a series of other churches in Herefordshire, though none quite so extraordinary as this.

		The most famous church in Herefordshire and probably the most famous Norman church in the country; Kilpeck is a perfect example of an unaltered small post-Conquest church.

		CE), she bears a marked resemblance to figures found in earlier Celtic stone carvings and metalwork, such as the figures on the Moone Cross (8-9th cent.
