Through tower arch #StMaryQuantoxhead #Somerset
for #WindowsOnWednesday
Fragments of (possibly) medieval glass can be seen in the Perpendicular tracery. The C14 double chamfered pointed arch is unusual as rather than being continuous each order has small moulded abacii

Welcome to the church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in East Quantoxhead. Nestling, as the name sort of suggests, between the foot of the Quantocks and the sea. The classic English parish church; tower, nave chancel and south porch #StMaryQuantoxhead #Somerset for #SteepleSaturday

Curious little square slit. As a window is an aperture to provide illumination and ventilation and doesn't presuppose glass, Mouse claiming it for #WindowsOnWednesday

The doyen for doors and doorways from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg #StMaryQuantoxhead: Originally very roughly hewn doorway extensively repaired with more regular dressed stone. The 4-centred head cut in two pieces is a bit wonky #DoorwayThursday

Only the second rubblestone pointed arch Mouse seen after #AllSaintsOtterhampton. It contrasts with the fine double chamfered pointed tower arch. Listing says C19. It's interesting to think what it replaced

'Goblet' style font. Octagonal basin, stem and base. Mouse can find no reference to it, but the style and carving suggests early C15. Residual pigment suggests that at some time the font was entirely white

It's been a while, but at last a medieval #StandingCross here in the churchyard of #StMaryQuantoxhead #Somerset. Square base, socket stone, square prism lower, octagonal prism upper with splay at each corner, octagonal shaft with upper portion and cross lost #StandingCrossSunday

The church of #StMaryQuantoxhead #Somerset has C13 origins, described rather delightfully as 'refenestrated' by the Listing C15 with C17 and C19 renovations. The big 'arse sits to the north of the church (just visible) so that the local nobs had salvation (very) close to hand
