The enduring allure of #ChurchDoorFittings

Door interior to north porch to north aisle. History in metal #HolyCrossMark #Somerset #IronworkThursday

Looks like today is all about the wood. C15 carved panel roof to north porch #HolyCrossMark #Somerset #Woodensday. Mouse say "Beautiful". especially set against the bare stone

There's a sort of Clarence quality about this terracotta portal guardian (niche) #TerracottaTuesday #HolyCrossMark #Somerset

East elevation of south chapel #HolyCrossMark #Somerset #AdoorableThursday

Now this. This. Is old. Probably the oldest single part of the church. Chamfered pointed doorway (the best kind) with planked door

West to chancel #StGregoryWeare #Somerset

Wide nave with aisle (left) bearing the same stark bare stone aesthetic as #HolyCrossMark. Minimalist and beautiful

And finally from Mouse; really, really #TinyWindowTuesday

A tiny light on the west tower stair turret #HolyCrossMark #Somerset

All very curious. Badly re-set C13 heavily moulded doorway, strangely positioned relieving arch and odd little corbel above the door apex

Mouse putting it out there straight away. This door is fab-u-lous.

Interior. North porch. Planked, filleted, studded and decorated with quatrefoil tracery in roundels surmounting small pointed trefoils #HolyCrossMark #Somerset #AdoorableThursday. You bet it's adoorable!

The odd little corbel. Perhaps this once supported a small statue with a hood above? Also show the extend of the door surround moulding

Looks like today is all about the wood. Nave #HolyCrossMark #Somerset #Woodensday

Wagon roof. C15 but restored C19 and repainted.

It's late, but it's never too late for some quality door action, starting with this lovely west tower door #HolyCrossMark #Somerset #AdoorableThursday

Heavily moulded 4-centred door surround. Moulded square label with hollow spandrels once bearing heraldic shields. Planked door

The #MouseFavouritePhoto from the Church of the #HolyCrossMark #Somerset had to highlight these unusual, almost signature, stained glass windows
East of south chapel #HolyCrossMark #Somerset #StainedGlassSunday

More gorgeous vibrant glass, which is thrown into wonderful relief by the quality of bare stone and mortar

Sadly the dais isn't in the middle but even Mouse not moving that for a good photo

Sanctuary #HolyCrossMark #Somerset

Flooded with light from the large Perpendicular windows. The bare stone and style of the mortar provides an almost watercolour feel to the image

The #BestofTheRiverAxeChurches #Somerset: Loose ends. Churches with remarkable roofs. #StJohnAxbridge #StAndrewCheddar #HolyCrossMark

Mouse love roof timbers and these are all well worth a look
