Kilpeck (wal. Llanddewi Cil Peddeg) — miejscowość w hrabstwie Herefordshire w Wielkiej Brytanii, około 14 km na południowy zachód od Hereford.

W miejscowości znajduje się romański kościół St. Mary and St. David ufundowany około 1140. Wzniesiony został na prostym planie, złożonym z jednej nawy, prezbiterium i absydy. Znany jest przede wszystkim ze swojej dekoracji rzeźbiarskiej, obejmującej portal, zachodnie okno i konsole na zewnątrz kościoła.

Południowy portal posiada dwa filary zewnętrzne z wężowatymi potworami, łączące się kapitelami z kolumnami, także bogato rzeźbionymi. W archiwoltach również ukazano demony oraz ptaki, zwierzęta i ornamenty. Tympanon ukazuje stylizowany motyw roślinny, zapewne Drzewo Życia.

Z pierwotnych 91 konsoli przetrwało 85. Przedstawienia na nich wyrzeźbione przedstawiają zwierzęta, maski, potwory, twarze i inne, bliżej nieokreślone wizerunki. Wśród nich znajduje się tzw. Sheela na Gig.

Kilpeck Details of Door Arch.jpg
A scan from a 35mm transparency which I took at the exquisite Romanesque church of Saint Mary and Saint David in Kilpeck, Herefordshire, England in 1989. It shows a detail of the carvings on the arch above the south door, depicting five linked serpents swallowing each other's tails, a dragon swallowing its own tail, and part of the linked outer border of lion heads above it. The motif inside the ring is a curious "lion-bird", apparently a damaged winged lion's body repaired with a bird's head taken from elsewhere. Carved during the mid 12th century AD (late Norman period) by an unknown sculptor of the "Herfordshire School".
