Quatrefoil stone grave marker, Ireland. The effects of age and weather created this unique beauty…I should be so lucky 😏

Quatrefoil ?
"four leaflets or petals radiating from a common centre."
"Architecture. An ornamental feature, as a boss, opening, etc., taking this shape." (OED)

Quatrefoil Library is an LGBTQ+ lending library and I spent a bunch of time wondering why they were dressed as giant pickles before spotting something that explained that these were BOOKWORM costumes!

The elaborate mid-C19 nave timbers of #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #Woodensday

Double quatrefoil pierced 2-centred trusses and cusped pointed windbeams. The less said about the dormer windows the better

I just needed a calming thing to do for a bit and so I made a bunch of tone brushes by making pixel quatrefoil patterns. They're all over at Itchio for free/pay what you want. https://bzedan.itch.io/quatrefoil-tone-pack

Not the last time Mouse will say this but #StMaryPortbury #NorthSomerset is wonderful for the diversity of periods and styles of window. From the Decorated period; 3-light cusped intersecting tracery creating daggers and pointed quatrefoil. Typically fine mullions #TraceryTuesday

Church of St Peter & St Paul, Blockley, Gloucestershire

An octagonal stone font that the church guide says dates from 1390.

Quite a floral display.

Also this was the week when I learned what a quatrefoil window is.

Tuesday's missed Mouse posts due to the Blue Sky Wobble: Clever and unusual tracery effectively shows how #Ogee or 4-centred arches are constructed. Three inverted pointed arches create intersecting ogees as well as quatrefoil and daggers #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #TraceryTuesday

Dating to C19 this pulpit is rather restrained in comparison to some that border on pastiche rather than homage. Simple blind tracery and quatrefoil panels. The stone base Mouse suspects once supported a fine C15 pulpit #StMaryPortbury #NorthSomerset #SundaySermons

This extravagant beauty just hanging out by my sink like it’s nothing.
