North of chancel adjacent to altar #StMaryCannington #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday
The slit window top left was, so the story goes, used by nuns of #CanningtonPriory to get a good squint at proceedings in the chancel. Only women over 10ft tall were allowed to join the order

Probably due to its proximity it's suggested that #StMaryCannington #Somerset was the Abbey church for #CanningtonPriory. So - one for the specialists, maybe? Anyone have examples of an Abbey Church that didn't start life cruciform or with a crossing tower? #TowerTuesday

The fabulous east window of #StMaryCannington #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday
The start of #CanningtonsGreatBigWall can be seen to the right. On the other side of the wall the grounds of Cannington Manor, formerly #CanningtonPriory

Partly for #TraceryTuesday and partly to introduce the adjacent (left) former #CanningtonPriory (C12), now Cannington Manor converted to a conference centre, which prevents access to the north of the church

So what is Cannington in Somerset notable for? A wall! A great big wall. A C17 wall. A Grade II Listed wall no less. Thought to follow the original boundary of #CanningtonPriory and now enclosing (surprise) the 'Walled Garden of Cannington' #CanningtonsGreatBigWall for #WallsOnWednesday
