Finally an actual door for #AdoorableThursday. One of a pair to the west of #TinternAbbey
Because Mouse make you wait so long she chuck in a #WicketGate for good measure #HeidiAtTintern #StMaryTintern #Thursgate
(Note #NickedNook)
A little clue to the date at which the Norman door was blocked; remnants of a 2-light square (headed) window with pointed trefoil lights. Portals at this height tend not to suffer from a #NickedNook

North elevation of Great Tower #ChepstowCastle #WindowsOnWednesday
You'd see something like this in many churches; 4-light panel window with quatrefoil above. Roll moulded pointed arch and label. Ornate capitals either side above nook shafts (robbed out). High status #NickedNook
North-west elevation of the #ChristchurchNormanHouse. Externally this 2-light Romanesque window is far more ornately carved than those north-east being gable end, but internally it has the unsettling look of an imposter #WindowsOnWednesday #NickedNook #NormanHouseWindows (5/5)
North-east elevation of the #ChristchurchNormanHouse (exterior, left). An incredible survivor and an archetype of Romanesque window design. The windows to the south west have been robbed out, if indeed they ever mirrored this design #WindowsOnWednesday #NickedNook #NormanHouseWindows (4/5)
