It's Kilpeck church.
We have a winner 
Yes, it's the Sheela na gig, one of the medieval carved corbels at Kilpeck Church, just southwest of Hereford. It's well worth a visit (and the nearby pub is excellent too...)Over to you...
@Wiccan, The Harewood End link - are you thinking of the 'Disney' dog and hare corbel, or something else?
Excellent crime/mystery novel which feature Kilpeck heavily - "All of a Winters's Night" by Phil Rickman.
ETA: Facebook has been raided! I suspect this might go quite quickly...

At first glance I wondered if it was the Ardeche region of southerny France?
In response to the KIlpeck church, the sheela-na-gig is an ancient pagan symbol of fertility and you can find them dotted around churches across the UK, usually above doors but they're quite well hidden these days. I knew the answer straight away but withdrew from the competition cos it was a good one

Monmouth? Cannot remember the villages i drive through. One has a pub, hares end or something.
The hare is another symbol of paganism, it's considered a sacred animal, the 3 hares symbol being the most well known.Edited by Wiccan of Darkness on Saturday 1st July 22:08
