North of chancel #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday

No explanation. Just because Mouse though this looked rather nice

Chancel from the east #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset #WindowsOnWednesday

Victorian replacement, restored or Decorated Period original? What might Mouse's #VictorianMasonryClues suggest?

Very beautiful reticulated tracery... a true Mouse favourite

South of chancel #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday

Priest's door and protector gate. All C19 and from the Victorian chancel rebuild. Not pretty

From south west #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #Thursgate #IronworkThursday

A rather fine kisser. This really is very photogenic church

Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset. All the bits and pieces Mouse didn't get to share in the week: Step and wave moulded arch, screen with tracery openwork, choir stalls to the quire all date to the mid-C19 rebuilding of the chancel

South porch #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #DoorwayThursday

Double chamfered segmental pointed arch. C14. Simple. Beautiful

Some #VictorianMasonryClues (Part III of III): Mouse finds that there are 'chunky mullions' and in some cases thick tracery too. Medieval masonry can be more delicate

South of south aisle #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset #WindowsOnWednesday Decorated-style: curvilinear

Signature Mouse...

Nave to south aisle. Wonderful Decorated period 3-light window framed by C15 double chamfered arch with clustered engaged half shaft piers #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #StonemasonryMonday

South door (interior) #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday

Stilted 3-centred rere, lattice door, fire extinguisher and watering can

From north west #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #TowerTuesday

Stair turret to north east. Square section to lower stages, polygonal upper stage surmounted by crenellation above the level of the tower parapet

The enduring allure of #ChurchDoorFittings....

South door #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #FerrousFriday. Not as old as its pretending to be. The Hammerite fails to disguise the truth

This fabulous frantic frolicking far-out feline once fulfilled another, now forgotten, role before being incorporated into a buttress to support a water spout. He (Panic not. Pronouns checked) never quite got over it #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset. A first #Caturday ever for Mouse

As Mouse said when she first arrived in the village; posh, very posh, and yet somehow quintessentially English #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #Thursgate #IronworkThursday

Welcome to the imposing church of the Holy Trinity in Newton St. Loe, Somerset. C14 with C15 alterations and the usual C19 renovation (holds breath). West tower, nave, chancel, north and south aisle and porch, north organ chamber #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset #SteepleSaturday

The #WestDoorAndWindowCombo #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday

Perpendicular style 3-light window and rather unassuming (now disused) planked door in pointed doorway. Irritatingly one offset from the other

Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset. All the bits and pieces Mouse didn't get to share in the week: Very Victorian. When design surpasses need and becomes art

Passion...

This seems very busy both architecturally and in terms of the furnishings as well as the stained glass. Striking, but not entirely to Mouse's taste #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #StainedGlassSunday
May 10, 2026 at 7:41 PM
Sanctuary...

From chancel arch through quire to altar. The presbytary feels strangely full but this is the result of careful design #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #StainedGlassSunday
May 10, 2026 at 7:49 PM
North and south of chancel #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #StainedGlassSunday

Decorated (in style at least) windows with some reasonably fine late C19 stained glass
May 10, 2026 at 8:24 PM
East wall of south porch #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #StainedGlassSunday

A Victorian assemblage perhaps, but really rather pleasing nonetheless. Two trefoil #Ogee lights with moulded segmental head and label and small head stops
May 10, 2026 at 8:33 PM
South of #HolyTrinityNewton #Somerset for #StandingCrossSunday

Probably C15. Octagonal socket stone and 3-stage calvary. Upper shaft also octagonal lower section square section with broches to the top to fit into square socket. Break in shaft suggests top replaced #StandingCross
