It looks splendid. However, I have noticed the vexed problem of #ChurchClutter being attracted to raised spaces where no one can see the sins being committed.

It would be instructive for #ChurchClutter to be analysed; almost certainly rolls of old carpet involved! @portaspeciosa.bsky.social

Mouse always moving stuff about, removing signs, tidying up and cheating #ChurchClutter out of shot, but there just seems to be something in Mouse's head about moving stuff about on the altar. Weird mus🐭
(and Mouse do a great deal of grumbling)

#ChurchClutter … a fine stack of chairs, balanced by an arrangement of watering cans jammed under a spare pew …

… shakes head in despair …

It's very late for Mouse, but never too late for a Norman font. As is so often the case this precious 900 year old font is surrounded by #ChurchClutter and a fine example of #StackingChairsInChurches. Also equipped with bat utility belt
#StMaryKilve #Somerset for #FontsOnFriday

And as #FontsMeanFarewell, what of the church of #StAndrewStogursey #Somerset? To Mouse this is a church of real architectural and historical significance, but sadly unknown, overlooked and neglected. Full of #ChurchClutter. For architecture Mouse give it 4/5 #MusVisit🐭🐭🐭🐭

In a way this rotting (probably) C16 chest shows quite how neglected #StAndrewStogursey #Somerset feels. It's an important church of Norman Romanesque origin and yet it is #ChurchClutter filled and slowly decaying in the damp
#Woodensday #FireExtinguishersInChurches

North and south chapels #StAndrewStogursey #Somerset

A church that's a grand reminder of Norman Romanesque architecture but sadly blighted by general #ChurchClutter and shonky wiring. Sad. The place needs some love. The south chapel though is an exception and full of interest

The onset of #ChurchClutter is no respecter of monuments🐭

From Chancel to north aisle #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #StonemasonryMonday

Lived in. That's how Mouse describe this church. A bit untidy. A little #ChurchClutter in every photo. But fine, elegant 5-bay aisles and 2-bay chapel arcades (Now spot Agnus... you'll look all Dei)

Yet again, venerable font, magnet for plastic tubs and random #ChurchClutter

A church is for the use of the community. Charitable work is important. Mouse get it. But.. this font is beautiful. More than 700 years old. Give it some respect #StPaulKewstoke #Somerset #FontsOnFriday

And as Mouse prepares to leave the lovely church of #StPeterBleadon #Somerset, a moment to enjoy this remarkably intact Norman tub font, nestled on its C13 shaft and pedestal. It's obviously not working though as its #ChurchClutter gravity has failed #FontsOnFriday

And finally for tonight from Mouse a little #TimelineSorbet to cleanse the visual palette after all of that #ChurchClutter

A last look at the wonderful fan vaulting of the crossing #StJohnAxbridge #Somerset and some #FridayPipes, the organ (right) nestled in the north transept

Now, to be honest (and Mouse always is) that wasn't Mouse's first go at tidying up. The first few goes she left a whole new breed of #ChurchClutter slightly in shot. Introducing #ShoppingTrolleysInChurches

Spot the difference competition number 47: #StJohnAxbridge #Somerset #FontsOnFriday

Alongside the beautiful and the interesting Mouse often bring dodgy church wiring, fire extinguishers and stacking chairs amongst the other #ChurchClutter fonts attract. Mouse tidy it up....

Incredibly elegant early C18 font with gilded cover #AllSaintsKeddleston #Debyshire #FontsonFriday

As usual the font provides gravitational pull for #ChurchClutter, which Mouse cheated out of shot. There's no hiding the fire extinguishers though #FireExtinguishersInChurches

That's quite a concoction! TTM🐭
If there was an Olympics for #ChurchClutter...

After years of moaning about the mistreatment of fonts, this is the way to offer proper respect, clean tidy and no #ChurchClutter. This font in their lovely hat must be very happy indeed. Well done #StLeonardRodneyStoke #Somerset. Happy #FontsOnFriday to you

Chancel arch to tower arch through nave #StLawrenceWestbury #Somerset

If Mouse honest, and hey, you know Mouse, this is a frustrating church to photograph. Full of #ChurchClutter, wall mounted heaters and dangly things. So no great aesthetic long shots here. Stick to the detail

Nave through chancel arch to chancel #StMatthewWookey

This is one of those curiously untidy churches awash with stacking chairs, buckets and #ChurchClutter. Mouse hope it offers up some treasures in compensation. Feels like a bit of a shaky start to the #ScamperDownTheAxe 2025

"The Inevitable untidiness of chancel"

Chancel south wall with small eternal door (Mouse not know what this was for) and squint (hagioscope) in south transept wall. Usual mix of #ChurchClutter and #ChurchWiringNightmare present and correct as expected #StMichaelSopley #Hampshire #AdoorableThursday

From nave through chancel arch #StMaryFordingbridge #Hampshire

Cropped unkindly to remove the worst of the #ChurchClutter. The chancel arch is C13 and very elegantly carved

The way Mouse feel about a church is often dictated by the first view she get when walking through the door. This is the view from north to south aisle across the nave #StMaryFordingbridge #Hampshire. Lovely think Mouse. Then she look the other way! A mass of mismatched furniture and #ChurchClutter
