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

South of chancel #StMaryKilve #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday

Planked priest's door but possibly a bit of a #FrankenDoor. The low 4-centred cavetto head seems ill at ease with the roughly worked chamfers of the jambs

South of chancel #StPeterBleadon #Somerset #AdoorableThursday

The cusped head of this priest's door is probably C13 but this is a C19 assemblage of 'bits found hither and thither'. A typical Victorian #FrankenDoor, if you will

Described as a much modified and now blocked Romanesque doorway, Mouse would be amazed if any more that 10% is actually post-Conquest if indeed anything at all. North of nave (surprise) #StLawrenceWestbury #Somerset #AdoorNoMore #DoorwayThursday #FrankenDoor

Hence the #FrankenDoor. Often door surrounds were made from masonry, often decorated ( #Spolia) all gathered together and reassembled. The Victorians were very fond of this. The result is often a feeing that parts are out of proportion, as here TTM🐭

Monolithic slightly draped arch on shallow chamfered jambs flanked by large nook shafts surmounted by Romanesque capitals (fairly obvious repairs to left, facing). A real curiosity and possible #FrankenDoor
