Green Man Sites
Views expressed on the Green Man are obviously those of the website authors,
but all are full of interest.
Ruth
Wylie’s Site Ruth is a photographer who has been taking pictures
of Green Man images since the 1980s. Besides her own vast library of images,
she probably possesses the biggest database of Green Man sites in the
UK. The Green Man Trail is immensely grateful to Ruth for making her register
of Oxfordshire sites available to us, for much additional information,
and for her all-round encouragement. There is more on Ruth Wylie at here
The
Search for the Green Man is the site of BBC Radio 2 presenter Mike
Harding, author of A Little Book of Green Men. Many thanks to Mike for
getting in touch and giving us some useful pointers.
The Green
Man of Cercles is a wonderful site chiefly devoted to the Romanesque
sculpture of France, with special reference to Green Men and Beasts. See
the Notes & Queries section for a fascinating article on ‘Tree
Nose Green Men’; our Chadlington example now features in the piece,
with some other rare examples of the genre.
Canterbury
Green Man contains images from Kent, Devon and elsewhere.
Green
Man East Anglia records locations, photographs and information on
the Green Man in East Anglia.
