The Ampney St Peter Sheela Na Gig

This sheela can be found in the village church of the picturesque village of Ampney St Peter near Cirencester, Gloucestershire. It is situated inside the church to about 7 ft off the groung to the right of the main door (see below). The south side of the church was extended in the last century. The north side however is original and still has a single gaping mouth carving just below the roof (see below). The genital area has been vandalised at some point though the rest of the figure is well preserved. The church is obviously quite old but I was unable to find out much more about it. There is a preaching cross and many yew trees in the churchyard.

N.B. The church is usually locked so you might have to ask for key to gain access.
