This is a depiction of the Triple headed King featured on the Roodscreen at a Church dedicated to the Celtic St Credan in Sancreed, Cornwall.

This small but beautiful church is located in the very centre of Sancreed (Cornish: Eglossankres) in the inland parish in the Hundred of Penwith, about four miles west of Penzance and forms part of the gloriously wild and ruggedly beautiful area of West Penwith at the most westerly tip of Cornwall.

The pretty granite church dates from the 15th century, and still has the base of its rood screen. This has its original paint, and includes pictures of a spotted goat, a jester, a triple headed king (perhaps representing the Trinity), birds and other beasts.
