In 2005 dendrochronology showed the wood was felled after 1032 AD and that the door was constructed sometime in the 1050s

The Saxon doorway from the south side of the tower of All Saints’ Church at Brixworth in Northamptonshire. Using recycled Roman tiles, the doorway was originally an internal door leading to a now demolished cell. 📸 My own. #AdoorableThursdsy #Brixworth #Northamptonshire

The 13th or 14th century doorway at St Mary’s Church, Berry Pomeroy, Devon at the foot of the rendered tower.

The church was rebuilt in the 15th century possibly by Sir Richard de Pomeroy, with later further restorations.

We were in the area so passed by 13th century St Mary’s Fawsley, Northamptonshire earlier this week.

Dreadful weather so so not surprised the doors were closed. High on my must visit list — will return on a summers day.
