There are many roof bosses to be found in Ely Cathedral most of which are in the Lady Chapel. Some  roof  bosses have been restored to their original colours and some depict other subjects other than the Green Man.

Steeplegate, Ely.

This Green Man, carved into a beam as part of a frieze dates from the 16th c CE

St. Andrew's Church, Isleham.

Dating from c1495 and perched some 50 feet above the pews this Green Man was hidden from view until work was undertaken to re-roof the church. Notice the ornate decoration to the beam the he is fixed to. A real hidden gem!

All Saints Church, Landbeach

One of a series of Green Man roof bosses which depict the gradual change from 'mortal' man to true Green Man.

Two further Green Men to the exterior of the east window.

St. Leonard, Leverington

Green Man roof boss in the south porch.

St. Mary, Over.

Green Man misericord can be found on the south side of the choir stalls. It is said the seats in the choir came from Ramsay Abbey. There is a second more crudely carved Green Man misericord in the choir.

Peterborough Cathedral.

Part of a pillar arch decoration on the south side of the cathedral interior,

There are more Green Men to be found in the cathedral.

St. John the Baptist, Peterborough.

The south porch has two Green Man roof bosses on the vaulting.

St. Andrew, Swavesey.

With no fewer than six Green Man carvings   St. Andrew is a great place to visit. The bench end carvings are said to date from the late 19th c CE, but some older carvings may have been incorperated during the renovation as they appear much older.

Apart from the Green Man there are many other carvings to be found in the church.

Tydd St. Giles Parish Church.

The 15c CE font has two fantastic Green Man panels, the second (not pictured) is more 'wildman' in appearance.

All  Saints, Melbourn. This Green Man roof boss, difficult to see in his lofty position unless the sun is shining was recently photographed as part of a shoot for the new church guide. Many thanks to Mike Rawlings for the photo and information.
