Mouse sticking round #HolyTrinityBristol for a couple of days as she has more to share: Pulpitum for lovers of the #Ogee everywhere #OgeeLove #StoneworkSunday #SundayStonework
(Mouse particularly pleased with this one. First ever total apex alignment - and it's beautiful)
North of tower #StMaryQuantoxhead #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
Stunning chamfered #Ogee doorway to bell tower with massive monolithic sandstone head (wonky). Wide plank door with studs. Total #OgeeLove for this one.
(Disgraceful, anachronistic cement mortar pointing)
Mouse been a #PoorlyMus this weekend, all sneezes and shivers, but not too poorly to share a passion. She struggled musfully to the keyboard to show off this lovely #ChurchPiscina
#StoneworkSunday #SundayStonework from #StMaryCannington #Somerset #Ogee #OgeeLove
And finally from Mouse.... cavetto moulded #Ogee #StMaryEastBrent #Somerset on #AdoorableThursday
A real thing of beauty, sadly coinciding with a catastrophic failure in Mouse's cataloguing system. Mouse don't know where in the church she found this #OgeeLove
The #StPaulKewstoke #Somerset pulpit deviates from the local Somerset school a little. Each side has two panels with a cusped #Ogee in each and the most ostentatious finials (darling). Note the fine carving around the top section #SundaySermons #OgeeLove
Blocked priest's door south of chancel (interior) #StPeterPortishead #Somerset
It's a terrible photo, but it's here for completeness #DoorwayThursday #AdoorNoMore A thread (Part 3 of 3) #OgeeLove
Art... for art's sake
Hagioscope with #Ogee head dappled in stained glass-filtered late spring sunshine #StJohnAxbridge #Somerset #ItsAllAboutTheLight #OgeeLove
At first glance a fairly standard square 3-light window with cusped #Ogee lights. But Mouse invite you to zoom in for the detail of the little glazed daggers in the spandrels. Nice #StJohnAxbridge #Somerset #WindowsOnWednesday #OgeeLove
Time to call it a knight on this particular thread #AllSaintsKedleston #Derbyshire #MonumentsMonday
South of chancel. This memorial-based thread has peaked... on the apex of a low, finialed #Ogee canopy over a fine effigy #AllSaintsKedlestonMonuments (X of X) #OgeeLove
#OgeeLove @thehistorymouse.bsky.social and church clutter!
The bears are all dressed individually, many in beautifully knitted or tailored garments, as here.
This bear is keeping an ogee-arched piscina company in St Mary's Longworth. #OgeeLove @thehistorymouse.bsky.social
Ha! Mouse found another one. This time south of the altar in the chancel and C13. Pointed trefoil set in an #Ogee and just look at the attention to detail in the petals of the bowl #StMaryWedmore #Somerset #OgeeLove #Piscina

Even better, the niches are traditional cusped trefoils set in #Ogee surmounted by croquetted finials. Mouse's entire architectural vocabulary all in one sentence TTM🐭
There's always time for a little #OgeeLove
The (other) doors of #StLeonardRodneyStoke #Somerset #AdoorableThursday (2/4)
North of north (Rodney) chapel. Set in double 4-centred arch and #Ogee hood mould with finial incorporating niche for statue (lost). That brown and green of a north door gets Mouse every time #OgeeLove
A C19 square single light with cusped #Ogee doing a passable impression of a C15 predecessor although with the curious addition of tiny glazed hollow spandrels and double rebate. On reflection...
#WindowsOnwednesday #StLawrenceWestbury #Somerset #OgeeLove
North elevation of nave #StLawrenceWestbury #Somerset #TraceryTuesday
A C15 3-light 4-centred window, hollow moulded and recessed with cusped shallow #Ogee lights and curiously squished up tracery. Re-set, probably during the C19 rebuilding #OgeeLove
The church of #StLawrenceWestbury #Somerset has a fairly uniform Perpendicular-style window design with some very fine tracery #TraceryTuesday
A 3-light pointed window with plain label and stops, and cusped #Ogee lights
#OgeeLove
And finally from Mouse for the day...
Rather fine memorial tablet with cusped head set in an #Ogee with finial. All is well with the world #MemorialMonday all the way from #StLawrenceWestbury in #Somerset
#OgeeLove
#OgeeLove is a very much a spectrum disorder TTM🐭
Mouse's ears and whiskers! Can you believe it? The upper storey east window in the Great Tower at Monmouth castle is an #Ogee! A fancy one too with remnants of fine tracery and a carved finial to boot. Fancy east window... Mouse wonders. Hall or chapel? #HeidiInMonmouth #OgeeLove
Just having a wonder around #HolyTrinityChristchurch #Dorset looking at stuff: Seemingly early C13 piscina but curiously carved into a pier in the south arcade. Just look at the wonk on that pointed head #MasonryMonday #OgeeLove
Just having a wonder around #HolyTrinityChristchurch #Dorset looking at stuff: finely carved #Ogee blind arcade with cusping and finials. Lady Chapel #MasonryMonday #OgeeLove
Mouse delighted to see @batharchitecture.bsky.social and @bathprestrust.bsky.social in this place where the Sky is always Blue. Looking forward to the first posts from Bath, a Mouse favourite city TTM🐭
A battlemented beauty full of #OgeeLove
