Rowberrow, Somerset

 

We tried to visit the carving at Rowberrow but the church was locked and with no contact details. 

This photo comes from a 1909 book about St Aldhelm, by the Rev. G F Browne.  

The shape of the head is very reminiscent of the Saxon carving at Frome. The interlacing is very complex! and a free-form style design that concentrates on wrapping the creature in its own tail (such as some of those at Ramsbury) rather than the strict logic of say Teffont Magna.
