800 year old x rated carving found.

For some reason, someone carved this figure 800 years ago at All Saints Church in Hereford, England.

The work had been hidden in a ceiling beam until the late 1990's when a restaurant was built and it came into view.

Some people think that it could have been the revenge of a carpenter against the clergymen due to a non-payment.

From what I've read, there are more of those type of carvings than you'd think in old UK churches.

@Edelgard I forget where I read about it. At least partly in a novel by Ramsey Campbell many years ago. Also remember seeing images in a documentary about British church architecture.
