Mouse thinks it's worth visiting every church on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg. But if you only had time for one for Mouse it would be (drumroll please) #StMartinFiddington. It's the white rough cast. Does it for Mouse every time

Six beautiful churches but how do you choose the best of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg? Hard to decide but it's the battle of the towers all over again. Quaint Decorated quintessentially English #StMartinFiddington vs vast Perpendicular #StMaryCannington

A few last moments from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: The place for faces in stone #StPeterHuntspill. Alas this poor knight and his lady (who's clearly a Cyberman) are destined to spend eternity under the closest of close scrutiny...

A few last moments from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: The place to enjoy the enduring allure of #ChurchDoorFittings #StMartinFiddington. The use of modern screws on pull and escutcheon belie the age of the fittings. Just enjoy the blacksmith made volutes

A few last moments from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: The place to find the peak of Romanesque architecture #StAndrewStogursey. A cruciform former Abbey church with four Romanesque crossing arches and beautiful carved detail. This church needs attention

A few last moments from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: The place to find a wonderful rood #StMaryCannington. The rood group is said to be C15 with C19 restoration. If true this is a great survivor of turbulent times (and a beautiful photo)

It's so late but it's never too late to declare a fantastic font winner from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMaryCannington. Not only a beautifully carved C15 font but unusually for churches these days it's in a lovely uncluttered setting #FontsOnFriday

The most surprised of #SurprisedChurches from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMartinFiddington #AdoorableThursday. "I'm not surprised, I knew my moment would come". He (worry not, pronouns checked) clearly is though. Bless

Modest in scale it may be but this striking #WestDoorAndWindowCombo at #StMartinFiddington fought off stiff competition to bag the prize for the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg #AdoorableThursday

There was only one gate with an overthrow on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg and it's a winner #StAndrewStogursey #Thursgate #IronworkThursday. Somehow those pesky #SomersetFayries got in on the act

The competition is fierce on this leg of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg. Not least in the destination for doors category. These three are of real historic interest #AllSaintsOtterhampton #StMaryKilve #StMartinFiddington #AdoorableThursday

Wonderful for wooden roofs from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMaryKilve. Chancel (left) and nave. A rare opportunity to see what a wagon roof looks like underneath the skin. The bosses mark out the panels which, made of lathe and plaster #Woodensday

Top for tracery on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMaryCannington. This church is dominated by huge Perpendicular panel windows and exquisitely fine tracery... a little #PerpyPerfection for #TraceryTuesday

Your must see for top tier tileage on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMaryCannington. Much care, attention and more likely than not money was lavished on the C19 restoration of this church. Tiles at every turn. Lovely #TilesOnTuesday

Mouse got no doubt about the winning stair turret from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMartinFiddington. A polygonal stair turret is lovely enough but rough cast and lime coated? Irresistible #TowerTuesday

Another view. Which is the toppermost tower? Who is the winner of top tower from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg? The tall powerful Perpendicular #StMaryCannington or the charming #StMartinFiddington? #TowerTuesday

When it comes to toppermost tower from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg, these two will go head to head right to the last. So different and yet seemingly equally striking and beautiful #StMaryCannington #StMartinFiddington

Stained glass summit from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMaryCannington. Good stained glass is thin on the ground often it's Victorian and undistinguished. There's plenty of unremarkable glass here but when it's framed like this...#StainedGlassSunday

The pick of the pulpits from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMartinFiddington. If truth be told, and Mouse does, the field was not strong on this leg but this early C17 pulpit is distinguished by some finely executed carving #SundaySermons
