Another of the #ThingsMouseLove: Carved faces. Often this kind of carving is reused or taken from another church (particularly after the Reformation) but these look both original and in situ #StMichaelSopley #Hampshire

Moss and lichen and falling leaves. Just one of those quintessentially English feeling scenes from yesteryear The #Lychgate of #StMaryHale #Hampshire #ThingsMouseLove

Some #ThingsMouseLove: The art of #FromInsideOut photography and the simplicity of #JustPlainGlass in a church window. South of chancel #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire

The diversity and age of roof structures in churches is another of the #ThingsMouseLove. This is the barrel-vaulted plastered roof of the chancel. Again, simple structures are intrinsically beautiful to Mouse #StMichaelSopley #Hampshire #Woodensday

Some #ThingsMouseLove: A sarcophagus with claws n paws. Monument south of chancel #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire

Some #ThingsMouseLove: The perfect church chancel. And this is as close to as good as it gets #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire

Some #ThingsMouseLove: A fine #ChurchDoor and #ChurchDoorSurround. South door (inside porch) #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire

Exterior (left) and interior. Roll moulded continuous pointed doorway. Pseudo-4-centred rere. Single planked extensively studded ledged and framed door with moulded fillets

#ThingsMouseLove: A perfect #ViewFromTheChurchDoor From #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire

You could easily imagine that the other side of the Romanesque doorway is the 12th Century and you could take one step into the past

Chamfered outer and roll moulded inner arch on chamfered jambs and engaged columns

Another of the #ThingsMouseLove: A #SurprisedChurch

Mouse sees faces in all sorts of inanimate objects and to Mouse many churches have a look of surprise on their faces. The church of #StMaryFordingbridge #Hampshire is a good example

South door (within porch) #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire

Romanesque; circular arch supported on nook shafts with scalloped cushion capitals and moulded imposts. Left capital (probably) original. Right capital a simple but fairly faithful modern reproduction #ThingsMouseLove #ChurchDoorway #Romanesque
