A Green Man is a nature spirit inhabiting forests and wooded areas. Here's a good link for a more in depth explanation.

Hi Sharon and everyone
I don't know anything more about the green man either; he seems to just
'be' since time gone by - predating much else.
He has been the subject of quite a few lace
motifs that I've noticed, and someone else I know made him out of paper,
to hang in her kitchen. I hadn't heard of him until I saw the first of
several lace motifs in 'Lace'
Will be happy to hear of anything more about this - am not going to google
any more for a while, too defeated by trying to find the picture of the
lace dress at the Maltwood (and I know it's 'there')
