A 4-centred doorway wrapped in a (later) frame with flanking pinnacles and foliate carving extending up to a finial set in a pre-existing trefoil niche #StGeorgeHanham #Gloucestershire for #AdoorableThursday
(Note sign carved in wood... not paper blu tacked to a heritage door)
Meanwhile just a few miles away (but might as well be in another world) the moulded pointed porch doorway of the delightfully rural #StGeorgeHanham #Gloucestershire #DoorwayThursday
The 2-stage C15 tower of #StGeorgeHanham #Gloucestershire is physically connected to the adjacent Hanham Manor (notable for its gardens). Church and manor have C13 origins, the latter owned by Keynsham Abbey. Parapet pierced with cusped arcade and upper quatrefoil #TowerTuesday
Now here's a welcome sight. The simple single story north porch of #StGeorgeHanham #Gloucestershire. Moulded pointed doorway and vacant pointed niche above. And it $*£%@$! locked isn't it. Double grump and a curse on this flagging scamper. Mouse stuck outdoors for a week!
Mouse push on and ever on... next stop the church of St. George in Hanham Abbots and Mouse suddenly back in the countryside. And relax. This pretty church has C13 origins; a simple tower, nave, chancel, south aisle and north porch configuration #StGeorgeHanham #Gloucestershire
