Abson is a small hamlet not far to the east of Bristol. A rainy day on the M4 had turned into a beautiful clear lighted winter's evening when Team Paradox drove up to the village green in front of the church. What we saw when we stepped out of the car was gob smacking - on top of the tower was an evocatively weathered set of figures that could have come straight from Romanesque Puglia in Southern Italy, and certainly unlike anything we've yet encountered in England!
Out came the double grunter lens gear and the monopod .... enjoy ......

A pre-Norman lurker in the back wall becomes only the second schlongpic in the Place.
