The winner in the #WestDoorAndWindowCombo category from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg #StDecumanWatchet. The #ChurchWiringNightmare of the #WireThroughTheApex is offset by a stunning Perpendicular panel window and planked door #AdoorableThursday

The one that won for windows on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg #StDecumanWatchet: Mouse like it. Mouse like it a lot #WindowsOnWednesday

The one that won for windows on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg #StDecumanWatchet: Curious Decorated-style east window with three stepped pointed lights. The Geometric tracery of trefoil and quatrefoil looks like plate #WindowsOnWednesday

The one that won for windows on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg #StDecumanWatchet: Perpendicular-style pseudo-4-centred window. Divided into three by thick mullions, #Ogee lights have verticals from each apex rising to the head #WindowsOnWednesday

Mouse's favourite rood turret from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg can be found at #StDecumanWatchet. Perpendicular, polygonal, perfect and a perfect match for the tower stair turret too. Oh... and some tiny windows #TowerTuesday #TinyWindowTuesday

The toppermost tower doesn't always have the best stair turret. The supreme stair turret from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg can be found at #StDecumanWatchet. A classic polygonal beauty #TowerTuesday

A place to enjoy some stained glass on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg: #StDecumanWatchet. On a scamper which has offered little but glass of the most unremarkable nature, this church offers a few interesting pieces at least #StainedGlassSunday

The premier pulpit from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg: #StDecumanWatchet. About as Jacobean as it gets and complete with canopy to prevent the fire and brimstone from setting off the sprinklers #SundaySermons

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

The weather and the light meant that the photos of #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset probably didn't do the church justice. It means there are very few candidates, but the calm almost Old Master quality of this photo make it #MouseFavouritePhoto (though it should have been titled 'Sanctuary'. Mouse's bad)

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 🐭🐭🐭🐭

The enduring allure of #ChurchDoorFittings...

Magnificent pull with rose nail fitted plate. Suggests the original C15 south door is still in use

#StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #FerrousFriday

Interesting ones don't turn up that often, but this is rather fine. A #BootScraper with a frame to hang onto while you remove the dung from your walkers #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #FerrousFriday

(Framing a damaged #OSbenchmark on the buttress)

There's a certain steam punk quality to these #FridayPipes

Gallery in west tower arch #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset

Arch to north chapel #StDecumanwatchet #Somerset for #FridaysFacesInStone

This poor angel has lost an arm, a wing and half of his eek and riah (for those fond of Round the Horne). He's down to a wing and a prayer....

Angels with dirty face?

The fabulous carved angels on the underside of the font basin, #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset

It's a Mouse #TwoFah one; #FontsOnFriday and #FridaysFacesInStone

It's amazing what you can repair with some B&Q patio tiles and some bathroom tile adhesive. The #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset font for #FontsOnFriday

Originally each face of this battered octagonal prism stem had two blind pointed windows each face separated by a pilaster buttress

West of south aisle #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #FontsOnFriday

what Mouse can only really describe as 'a rather lovely goblet style C15 font' and so that's where she stopping (well until later maybe)

(Clutter here due to electrical work so all is forgiven)

North (Wyndham) chapel #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #LesArmoiriesDuVendredi

One of several rather fine crests on the chest tomb

"Now brethren, this is an expensive chest and by my recknin' right delicate too"
"So tha be careful settling im down lest thee incur wrath of t' Lord"
"You at back with yer 'and up. Why tha lookin' so guilty?"

Not a candidate for #FridaysFacesInStone #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset

Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset. The bits and pieces Mouse didn't share in the week: It's estimated that only 10% of medieval crosses survive to the present day. A platoon of the 1st Mixed Cone Somersets has been deployed to guard this one

Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset. The bits and pieces Mouse didn't share in the week: Two #DullButWorthy photos from the same church Mouse? You spoil us. Unusually (well Mouse not seen before) the shaft of the #StandingCross has a modern wooden cross

Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset. The bits and pieces Mouse didn't share in the week: Socket stone and partial shaft of a medieval #StandingCross. The style of the 3-stage calvary suggest that it may be later (but then again... )

Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset. The bits and pieces Mouse didn't share in the week: Occupied and unoccupied niches in the cavetto moulding between the shafts of the north aisle arcade. The niches have a podium and crocketed, finialed #Ogee aedicule

Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset. The bits and pieces Mouse didn't share in the week: Blocked C13 south chancel door. Mouse didn't notice at the time but if you zoom in (right) you can just see a doorway partly obscured by a later buttress

Mouse off to bed leaving you with a mysterious #DoorInMidAir. It has the hallmarks of access to a rood loft. The problem is the doors are in the wrong place because they are aligned with the middle of the nave, not the chancel arch #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset #DoorwayThursday

One for Mouse's occasional #DullButWorthy series but if this is a stoop by the west door, and it looks like one that has been smashed (English Reformation again), then this was at one time the main entrance to the church #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset

West of tower #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday

Moulded 4-centred doorway, stopped label and ancient planked, filleted and studded door

(Tainted by a #WireThroughTheApex and plastic pipe through it. Minus ten marks for heritage crime) #ChurchWiringNightmare

An entry for the file marked #WestDoorAndWindowCombo from #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday

Alas the electrical work precluded a shot of the south door, and so please accept this photo of some fine fine fillets and studs in closeup instead #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
(and a spider web)
