If your passing anywhere near Cambridgeshire on the way then I would suggest a small detour to a church of all things - Whittlesford Church to be exact.
If you go then look at the carving below the clock and over the door. A four legged beastie with the head of a bearded man and huge schlong straddles the doorway and tries to tempt a Sheela-na-gig who sits, legs wide, holding open her vulva.
It's one of the best exhibitionist carving there is - certainly in the British Isles.
Honest to God it's there and so worth seeing just to believe!!!
Ride On!! Romanesque carvings!
