The Green Man, Linley Church.

Linley church is a gem. It stands a little off the B4373 Broseley to Bridgnorth road, and is approached down a single-track road which itself is a flower filled attraction at certain times of the year. The building was consecrated to St Leonard in 1138 and since then has changed little except for the insertion of 13th or 14th century windows. Ever the Victorians dealt kindly with Linley, chiefly replacing the dilapidated East Wall.
There are deeply splayed windows, and well-proportioned Norman arches with charming scrolled carvings

The outside of the church is as interesting as its interior.
The faces carved into the tower need to be noted. The north doorway is blocked up, but its typanum (shown aboveMore pics here) contains on of the few sheila-na-gigs in the country. In this case we have a green man a fertility symbol remaining over from the old religion with foliage sprouting from his mouth.
The deeply splayed, round-headed windows are of considerable interest. The huge but roughly hewn font is Norman. There is a splendid typanum in the original west doorway.
The silver, which is not held in the church, is dated 1625.
