When you take #AlookAroundTheBack you often see a church's untidy side. At #StMaryPortbury #NorthSomerset you also get to appreciate the amazing height of the aisle and see coped clasping buttresses into the bargain. Quite unusual on both counts

Let's take #AlookAroundTheBack at #AllSaintsOtterhampton #Somerset. Quite tidy around here, which is unusual. In the distance the north chapel now vestry. Interesting etymology (C17), it's the place where the priest could change his vest and pants. Why not pantry? It was taken

Vestry #StJohnBiddisham #Somerset #AdoorableThursday #AlookAroundTheBack

Rather nice filleted and studded pointed door set in a moulded pointed doorway. The vestry is C19, but it's very hard to tell the difference between this and the remainder of the building

North chapel, west elevation #StCongarBadgworth #Somerset

Beautiful or interesting or both? Mouse going to have to stick with interesting with this one. This is what happens when you take #AlookAroundTheBack. Note blocked window matching the east side
