This head is one of thirteen “Celtic”, or archaic heads that are located within the interior of the church. Twelve of those heads, including this one, are located in four rows of three, which run down either side of the churches arched columns. The thirteenth head is located in the bell tower.
The Celtic Head in Ramsgill, North Yorkshire, is a fascinating artifact that offers a glimpse into the region’s ancient past.
