Rag&Bone Man Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Do you mean the greenman that was made of plants ? I think he was a Sheffield grinder. Maybe he has been put away to make way for the huge Christmas tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he has been put away to make way for the huge Christmas tree. It was a plant. Someone sent me a Sheffield Calendar once and when we returned to Sheffield last year he wasn't there. There was also a woman plant too. We were living in Sydney at the time and never actually saw the creation. When we visited town I expected to see this new wonder.

grinder Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Really sick here. I was thinking you meant the Green cross code guy. I wanted to say he got knocked down by a lawn mower...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 There's a Green Man in the Cathedral isn't there? As in one of those mediaeval carvings found in churches whose meaning and significance is lost in history, but are thought to be a pagan symbol.
