St

	Green Man roof boss, high up and hard to see well foliage seems to sprout from the forehead and down to encircle the face.
	St. Nicholas is a haven for the Green Man. His image is all around. This Green Man is on the left hand rood screen.
	Also on the left hand rood screen in the corner is this character.
	The panels of the choir stalls have Green Man carvings like the one above
	.......and this one with foliage sprouting from the eyebrows and flowing foliage moustache.
	Even the organ case has a Green Man.
	As does the screen behind the organ.
	The pulpit has small Green Man carvings like this one on a corner of the frieze.
	Some examples need closer inspection to identify.
	Again sharp eyes are needed....
	....to find the smaller carvings
	St. Nicholas, Blakeney

St. Nicholas, Blakeney is a haven for the Green Man. Victorian restoration has added some fine woodcarving and it is here where most of the Green Man carvings are to be found. You may find binoculars useful for examining the roof bosses. Two are shown above and there are others (in the nave).

During 13th century a Carmelite friary was established at Blakeney and St. Nicholas church and the parish church's roots are connected to that. During the Reformation St. Nicholas church suffered as did many churches from the attention of the Puritans who smashed icons and defaced many of the decorative features, screens, statues etc.

Apart from the Green Man there is a feeling of being welcome in St. Nicholas. There are facilities for making hot drinks even when volunteers are not available and the tower is opened occasionally for visitors.
