4. Sheela Na Gigs adoring Britain’s churches

Sheela Na Gigs are erotic stone carvings of female figures found on the walls of Roman churches. A grotesque-looking woman pulling apart her vulva is fairly a strange thing to find in the church.
Research shows that these mysterious sculptures were built to keep the evil spirits away. Another plausible explanation is that Sheela Na Gig is seen as an embodiment of the overarching human procreation and death.
