A carpenter has been caught 800 years later for hiding a rude carving in the ceiling of a church.

This carving was hidden from the public until a new cafe was built, revealing the promiscuous work.

Regulars at All Saints Church in Hereford, England were shocked when the art went viral online.

Work on the church is reported to have begun around 1200 AD, finishing around 1330 AD.

When a new gallery with a cafe was built in the 1990s, that was when he was originally uncovered.

It is believed the man, nicknamed Seamus O'Toole was carved in the 15th century.

People online have joked saying it's good to know "trolling" was a new forum.

"He probably sat in the church, looking up at it, knowing know one else knew it was there, tittering to himself," one person said.

Another said, "Words can't describe how much I love this."

"Never in a million years did the person who made this think thousands of people around the world would see it," another person said.
