The Tugford Sheelas


The left Sheela Tugford The right Tugford Sheela






















These two Sheelas can be found inside St Catherines church Tugford either side of the main door. The sheela on the right is in a better state than the one on the left. It bears a passing familiarity to the Sheela at Kilpeck.The right sheela is squatting in an upright position while the one on the left is recumbent, lying on it's left side. The left sheela is bady weathered and it is difficult to make out details on the carving. Both of the sheelas are high up on wall making close examination difficult.

The Tugford, Holdgate and Church Stretton Sheelas are all in the same vicinity. Holdgate and Tugford being a mile distant from each while Church Stretton is about 10 miles away.
