South doorway. Detail #StSwithunBathford #Somerset for #RomanesqueRiday (thank you Rufus)
Fine and well preserved decoration of chevrons and large pellets developing from an extended abacus on each side. Beautiful
In this very Victorian church this is a wonderful and surprising find (as promised yesterday). Altered and re-set it may be, but this is a wonderful example of Norman Romanesque decoration. South doorway #StSwithunBathford #Somerset for #RomanesqueRiday (thank you Rufus)
The village fountain in Newton St. Loe #Somerset
Described as C19 Neo-Romanesque the fountain has the look of a font with a central stem and three outer shafts decorated with chevrons. It actully looks like #Spolia. Could it be the real thing? #RomanesqueRiday (thanks Rufus)
One for #RomanesqueRiday on a Friday (thanks Rufus) from #StMaryBitton
South of nave. From Keynsham Abbey Allegedly. C12 apparently. Three angle moulded orders, outer and inner continuous, middle on engaged shafts (not nook notice) with foliate capitals. Hmmm.... #AdoorNoMore
A Norman Romanesque masterclass in decoration. From outside in; roll moulding exposed between the teeth of opposing chevrons (with carved petals in roundels), cavetto with nail head and roll moulding enclosed in pellet spiral. Class dismissed #HolyTrinityBristol #RomanesqueRiday
Adjacent to cloister entrance #HolyTrinityBristol for #AdoorableThursday
Two orders of segmental arch bearing fine Romanesque decoration. The relieving arch above suggests that this is a #FrankenDoor and the decorative masonry is #Spolia

Gatehouse situated between the Cathedral and (now) College. Mouse would have photographed the lovely interior but there were some 'gentlemen' drinking Buckie inside. Suitable for an old Abbey though Mouse suppose
Bunting and fairy lights around the Norman Romanesque arch of #StMaryPortbury #NorthSomerset. The inner order is clearly C12, but if Mouse honest (she always is) she a bit suspicious of the provenance of the decorated orders. Nice though. #RomanesqueRiday (thanks Rufus)
The only possible choice for #RomanesqueRiday (thanks, Rufus) from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #PortisheadToWestonSuperMare. This Transitional chancel arch from the crossing drips with Romanesque carving which is steeped in iconography and symbolism. Truly beautiful
Mouse leave you with a little something for #RomanesqueRiday (thank you Rufus) from #StAndrewStogursey #Somerset
This is an important and rather overlooked Norman Romanesque church. It has a large amount of Romanesque carving to the arch capitals. But how much has been replaced?
South door interior #StPaulKewstoke #Somerset #RomanesqueRiday
Wide, roughly hewn horizontal planks showing that this is a double planked door. Mouse suspects that the seemingly random fixings are u-shaped nails. For more on this follow #KewstokeSouthDoor

South door #StPaulKewstoke #Somerset #RomanesqueRiday
From extrados; chevrons, cylindrical billets, meandros (crenellation) with pellet decoration to centre, lozenges, uneven sizes one per voussoir, hollow decorated. For more on this follow #KewstokeSouthDoor
There's a kind of Simpsonesque quality to this beak head. It looks like it's just eaten some shorts
Above abacus, right of chancel arch (as facing) #StAndrewClevedon #Somerset #FridaysFacesInStone #RomanesqueRiday (thank you Rufus)
It's late but it's never too late to enjoy #RomanesqueRiday (thank you Rufus). When you consider the statues of classical Rome a thousand years earlier these Norman Romanesque faces seem so primitive... and yet they have personality #StAndrewClevedon #Somerset #FridayFacesInStone
Mouse always on the lookout for hints of the Norman past and here's a little clue. A section of Norman Romanesque pellet decoration above a much abused segmental arch with roll moulding around the intrados #StAndrewLoxton #Somerset for #RomanesqueRiday (thank you Rufus) #Spolia
And finally, in celebration of #RomanesqueRiday on Friday (thank you Rufus) a last look at the south door #StMaryChriston #Somerset. And.... relax
Very fine hatchment above Norman Romanesque doorway #AllSaintsKedleston #Derbyshire
#RomanesqueRiday #LesArmoiriesDuVendredi
South door to west of nave #AllSaintsKedleston #Derbyshire
Beak head. A highly stylised carving that you can find on Norman Romanesque masonry in many places
