@DoorsNo3828 A lintel or a tympanum at a pinch. The big question; is it #Spolia or a modern carving? It has a consecration cross in the middle with olives in the quadrants, but also much Romanesque-Style decoration; saltire and #SixPetalledFlower with hollow petals #Christogram🐭

South of nave (interior) #StAndrewOldCleeve #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
Either a coincidence or a designer who really knows their decorative history. Echoes of Norman Romanesque square-set saltire but with an overlaid circle and a Christian wheel hidden inside #Christogram
Porch (interior) #StAndrewOldCleeve #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
It's late but it's never to late for a deep dive into some door loveliness. Typical late C15 pseudo-4-centred arch with hollow moulding housing a (probably) C20 door albeit with fancy schmancy straps.
The font at #AllSaintsOtterhampton #Somerset has a bottom lip with a shallow chamfer to the top face. Both faces decorated with saltires set in squares. Mouse favourite Norman optical illusion. Stare hard enough and you'll see eight spokes in a lozenge #FontsOnFriday #Christogram
St Mary’s Church, Sturmer, Essex. #adoorableThursday
Somewhere around 50AD and packed with mystical symbols recognisable to this day, including a mouse favourite #SixPetalledFlower. Perhaps the owner of this villa was one of them new fangled Christians #Christogram
@CathyRLowe @churchartnature @ianyoung33 @todbooklady @StroudStory This is really interesting for its purported date. Trefoil with terminals on the cusps. But zoom in to the terminals and what do you find? Hollow petalled #SixPetalledFlower TTM🐭
#Christogram
@ChrisRoyDenton Not just a windmill, you've found yourself the odd #Christogram secreted in there as well by the looks of it TTM🐭
@Farnsworth100 @chartres_Fiona @StroudStory @KatieHistory @PosyHill1 @CathyRLowe @katephillips29 Possibly because it never got finished. Often with glyphs the ends of lines are terminated by holes. Like this #Christogram at #SherringtonChurch #Wiltshire
(no it's not a game with matchsticks before anyone complains) TTM🐭
Sanctuary encaustic tiles #AllertonChurch #Somerset for #TilesOnTuesday
Truly beautiful white on blue fleur-de-lis and if you look carefully at the border you'll see a clever little optical illusion allusion that only really works from hooman standing height #Christogram
Another almost lost glimpse of the wonderfully enigmatic #Christogram in red ochre. Mouse don't know the church but those marks on the wall could have been made as long as 900 year ago TTM🐭
For #MedievalMonday here's the old and the new at St Mary's Church at Polstead in Suffolk. A relatively new font with a fibreglass lid that represents the River Jordan stands in front of early medieval wall paintings believed to represent the Wheel of Life.
A nice little daisy wheel from the remains of the cloisters at Tewkesbury Abbey.
Mouse suspect a #FrankenDoor, but it's a fabulous photo and look! A Mouse Romanesque favourite the #SixPetalledFlower blooming in abundance #Christogram
#ADoorableThursday St John the Baptist, Letton, Herefordshire. Late 11th century South door with contemporary door and ironwork. The massive red sandstone lintel has close relatives at nearby Bredwardine and Willersley, very likely all by the same hand.
The east doorway, Great Tower #ChepstowCastle
Tympanum and voussoir (and very faintly the lintel too) are decorated with the cross pattern so familiar to Mouse on her travels. Optical illusion and #Christogram from 900 years ago
Pigeon was a bonus
Lovely lintel with #SixPetalledFlower and indented petals #Christogram TTM🐭
(As Mandy once said "Well he would, wouldn't he?", 70% of churches Mouse visits have a door to the north blocked. The north where the cold and the wind comes from. Brrrrr, says Mouse)
Blocked #door #Bredwardine. Often called #DevilsDoor. @jpwarchaeology claims they were closed after #Reformation as redundant. I’ve found many to be on #north side which coincides with #MiniIceAge. Was climate a factor?
Why do Hollywood producers and directors make porn stars and rappers wear oversized crosses? The answer takes us on a strange journey back to the 4th century and a visit with a Roman emperor's mother.

Fab-u-lous from @PosyHill1. Mouse love a bit of a church door fitting close up. And is there are little cheeky reference to Ichthus on the handle boss? A little #Christogram for good measure TTM🐭
#AdoorableThursday #IronworkThursday
The much photographed doorframe of St Mary and St David’s church, Kilpeck tends to overshadow the impressive ironwork, so zooming in…
A little #SixPetalledFlower with hollow petals loveliness for #FontsOnFriday from @TimPalmerEO
#Christogram
Here's the similar one from Lamphrey, nr Tenby. They were obviously in need of more apotropaic assistance so they made a few additions on site...
Mouse with @StroudStory all the way in her love of Romanesque. This is a lovely doorway. It may be another two cases of a #NickedNook but the capitals are original and is that an example of a #SixPetalledFlower all along the stringer? #AdoorableThursday #Christogram
Sneaky, worn bit of #Romanesque on a side door of Chichester cathedral, #Sussex, for #AdoorableThursday - why do I always go for these over the more showy gothic?
West window #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire #TraceryTuesday
C19. Geometric style. 4-light with cusped lights. St. Laurence has some very unusual tracery. This Victorian window is exceptionally finely carved. The roundel has six segments #Christogram #DowntonTracery
A truly #FabbyFont with a lovely #SixPetalledFlower motif around the shaft TTM🐭
