Green Man of Canterbury
This green man is from a roof boss found in the crypt, known as the Black Prince’s Chantry or the Huguenot Chapel of Canterbury Cathedral. These carved heads sprouting foliage are based on Pagan superstitions and folklore. This imagery was incorporated into the decoration of many Christian churches and cathedrals from the Medieval Period. The green man is thought to be a symbol of rebirth or growth each spring.

Imperfect tiles are slightly below the high standards of our perfect tiles. These tiles are a great way to add to your collection and saves £6 per tile against the price of perfect tiles. An imperfect tile will have a small defect of some kind, such as a crack or surface blemish. A crack will not be easy to spot from the front but is likely to be more obvious from the back. You are welcome to contact us before purchasing an imperfect tile to ask about the defects.
