What is a "poppyhead"?
A poppyhead is a carved ornament that is often found on the tops of wooden posts or the ends of pews in churches. These decorations usually feature intricate designs, such as flowers, leaves, or other natural motifs, and add a decorative element to the church's interior. Poppyheads are a traditional feature in many older churches, particularly those from the medieval period, and they contribute to the overall aesthetic and craftsmanship of the building. 2/2
