A rather too close a look at the naughtiest and strangest things in Cotswold churches

Why are our medieval churches chock full of naughty, naughty things? Men and women showing off their naughty bits, strange beasts and monsters. What’s going on? Is the world turned upside down? From our very earliest churches, such as Saxon Deerhurst, grotesque creatures have guarded our churches from what lurks without. Kirsty Hartsiotis explores what these entities represent, how they reflect the world views of the people who built the churches and why there are so many, despite the Victorians tidying things up … We’ll explore the best – or worst? – of Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds’ most curious church sights in this talk!
