C!4th roof top decorative louvre, ceramic, and more of a ventilator than a type of chimney: now in the museum and thus seemingly lacking a provenance, though museums nowadays treat us all as idiots, and the labelling is directed at the lowest common intellect.

This figure painted on a wooden panel with scroll above and shields below in her green dress with its multiplicity of little buttons seems to date from the late c14, but the museum gave little info. about her. she may be meant for st.osyth.

Prob. dating from the early C12th, this sheela from Easthorpe church now resides in Colchester castle. Such figures were more likely warnings against lust than fertility symbols. it is extremely rare for any to be inscribed as this one is; the term "sheela" being a modern invention.
