As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell Mouse move on. But where next on this unusually sunny day for the #ScamperUpTheSomersetAvon? And more to the point will this one be open. Don't touch that dial, say Mouse... #SteepleSaturday
And as #FontsMeanFarewell and Mouse move on, what of the church of #StMaryRedcliffe Bristol? Part I of III (a thread). This church is a surprise in every way. It's located in perhaps not the loveliest part of Bristol but from some aspects it seems to sit calmly in a rural setting
And as #FontsMeanFarewell Mouse move, somewhat belatedly, on to the next church on the #ScamperUpTheSomersetAvon but Mouse in a proper grump, despite the blue sky, for reasons that will shortly become clear. Nonetheless the next church hove into view...
As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell, Mouse move on to the next church on the #ScamperUpTheSomersetAvon. This next place takes Mouse out of her comfort zone in more ways than one. Oh, and it's raining again
And as #FontsMeanFarewell, what of the church of #StGeorgeEastonInGordano #NorthSomerset? A fabulous tower, but too Victorian for Mouse's taste which has swept away any of the medieval architectural mysteries that Mouse love so much #MusVisit score 3/5 ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell Mouse move on to the next leg of the #ScamperUpTheSomersetAvon to a splendid looking church with a splendid view from the hill. Welcome to the church of the Holy Trinity in Abbots Leigh #NorthSomerset. Still raining #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh
And as #FontsMeanFarewell, what of the church of #StMaryPortbury #NorthSomerset? This is a true gem with fascinating architecture and much history yet to be understood. Don't just drive by on the M5, visit and donate. Mouse awarding a #MusVisit of a strong 4/5 ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell Mouse move on. On to the next church on the #ScamperUpTheSomersetAvon. A hop across the M5 and into the seeming sprawl of Easton in Gordano. Welcome to the church of St. George. C14 and C15 and a (shudder) Victorian rebuild #StGeorgeEastonInGordano
As #FontsMeanFarewell, Mouse move on. Well, actually, Mouse finally on the move again. It's warmer though still rainy but Mouse got itchy paws. So here's our first porch. It's a beauty, blind arcade, embattled, diagonal buttresses and intact parvise but #WhereIsTheHistoryMouse?
As #FontsMeanFarewell it's time to move on to review the next and last leg of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast from 2025. Leg four: #EastQuantoxheadToDunster Part A: #StMaryQuantoxhead #StDecumanWatchet
As #FontsMeanFarewell it's time to move on to review the next leg of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. Leg three: #HuntspillToKilve Part A: #StPeterHuntspill #AllSaintsOtterhampton #StMaryCannington
As #FontsMeanFarewell it's time to move on to review the next leg of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. Leg two: #HuttonToBrentKnoll Part A: #StMaryHutton #StMaryEastBrent #StChristopherLympsham
And as #FontsMeanFarewell what of the church of #StAndrewOldCleeve #Somerset? First impressions can be wrong. This is a church that grew on Mouse and became more fascinating the more she looked. A solid 4/5 #MusVisit๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell Mouse move on. This is a little bit of a side mission on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast but we are in for a treat
And as #FontsMeanfarewell what of the church of #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset? This church is all about the tower with a strong visual appeal from outside. Some interesting interior features too notably Wyndham family memorials and screen. A high 4/5 from Mouse #MusVisit ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell, Mouse move on to the next church on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. The weather has taken a turn for the worse and if there's one thing Mouse hates it's getting her fur wet. It always goes frizzy like a tribble
And as #FontsMeanFarewell what of the church of #StMaryQuantoxhead #Somerset? A beautiful and interesting church, but sadly it's not been maintained in a sensitive way, especially the use of cement mortar. It's still worth 3/5 but turn a blind eye #MusVisit ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
It's late, but it's never too late for Mouse to declare #FontsMeanFarewell and move on to the next church on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. This is one of those churches that's hard to capture from all sides because of foliage, but it looks like an interesting place to visit
And as #FontsMeanFarewell what of the church of #StMaryKilve #Somerset? This may not be a big church. This may not be an important church. But this is a church that is interesting, well cared for and very easy to love. Mouse award a solid 4/5 #MusVisit๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell Mouse move on to the next leg of her #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast... well... normally, but Mouse taking the week off after some intense scampering over the last few months and going to share some holiday snaps instead... here's a little tease
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 #MusVisit๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
A rather brief and extraordinarily late cry of #FontsMeanFarewell from Mouse today, it's been a busy one. But nothing stands in the way of this mus and the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. All this way and Mouse barely seen the sea at all. But today... that all changed...
And as #FontsMeanFarewell, what of the church of #StMaryCannington #Somerset? Most notable for its tower, this church is truly impressive in scale and somewhat of an enigma too. Plenty of details to captivate the interest. Mouse awarding another 4/5 #MusVisit๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
It's late, but it's never too late for Mouse to declare that #FontsMeanFarewell and so move on to her next location on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. Here Mouse find herself in the streets of downtown Stogursey in Somerset as an interesting looking church hove in to view
And as #FontsMeanFarewell what of the church of #StMartinFiddington #Somerset? This tiny church is photogenic inside and out from every angle. Mouse loved her visit here and would recommend it to each and every #ChurchChomper. Mouse awarding a very fulsome 4/5 #MusVisit๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell, Mouse move on. In a first for Mouse, she missed a church out on her #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast and had to retrace her steps. As the M5 turns south it's now the A39 that defines the coastal hinterland. Sleepy Cannington is about to yield a surprise
And as #FontsMeanFarewell what of the church of #AllSaintsOtterhampton? This is a beautiful little church. Light, bright and spiritual and full of interest for Mouse. She wish she scored out of ten so she could give a nine. But as it is, it gets a high 4/5 #MusVisit๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell Mouse move on to the next church on her #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. And here it is, with a rather pleasing aspect set amongst the trees
And as #FontsMeanFarewell, what of the church of #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset? A thick Victorian veneer over a beautiful C15 church, giving interest wherever you look. Another 4/5 from Mouse #MusVisit ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell, Mouse move on to the next leg of her #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. This week Mouse find herself in Otterhampton, Somerset and a church almost engulfed by the surrounding farmyard
