A hiker, clearly shaken, enters a remote English village pub, his clothes all torn and he's full of scratches. 

"You won't believe this," he says to the bartender. "I was attacked by a leopard!"

"Really?"

"Yes! A leopard! In England!" The hiker sits down and orders the strongest liquor they've got. "I tried to run, but it was if course much faster than me."

The hiker gets his glass, empties it, and asks for another. "It sent me to the ground with a mighty push from its paws, but weirdly enough it then just gave me a really sad look and left."

"Ah, you met Father Andrews," the bartender says, matter-of-factly.

"What do you mean?" asks the tourist, confused.

"Father Andrews was our priest. A truly kind-hearted man, loved by all. His only goal in life was to serve his congregation as well as he could. So when he one day found a lamp with a genie, his very first wish was to be a loving shepherd to the community."

"That's nice "

"Absolutely, if only he hadn't been so prone to spoonerisms."

“Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.” -- Discworld (Snuff)

Ornate Grave Mount of a Horned Face from Soberton, England dated between 5th - 7th Centuries CE on display at the Winchester City Museum in Winchester, England

The mount is a gilt copper-alloy and was found in Soberton, a Germanic settlement from the 6th Century CE. Due to the Germanic links it is thought this face is to depict the pagan god Woden, the Old English name for Odin. Such depictions are similar to ones found in other Germanic graves in England such as Sutton Hoo where the helmet displays a similar depiction. While it may not be Woden it shows a similar art style to depictions of Germanic mythology over Western Europe such as the Torslunda plates in Sweden from the 6th - 8th centuries CE.
