grotesque of climbing man on St Mary's Church, Fairford

            Consecrated in 1497 but not completed until 1520, St. Mary's Church in Fairford, Gloucestershire, was built with funds from a local wealthy wool merchant, John Tame.

It is a very good example of a Cotswold Perpendicular Gothic church, not least because it has the most complete set of mediaeval stained glass of any parish church in Britain as well as several carved wooden misericords.

This amusing carved stone figure of a man climbing over the parapet appears on the south wall of the church.
