St Michael's Church, Brough
Norman beakheads and chevrons on the main doorway of St. Michael's Church, Church Brough in the Eden Valley of Cumbria.
Beakheads are a bizarre and intriguing form of sculpture and no-one is completely sure as to what they represent. However one plausible theory may be is that these terrifying creatures represent the sin and vice of the world, which can only be rejected by the man of God entering the church.
