A very early Selfie!I was rather moved by this 16th-century bench end in Bickleigh church today. Just an image of some sort of peasant from 500 years ago, but as clear as the day it was carved by an anonymous hand.
Actually, possibly even more moving - is it a self portrait of the woodcarver himself? Those look like woodworking tools in the thing on his shoulder, and it's the only image of a person amongst all the bench-ends there.
