The finest #WestDoorAndWindowCombo: #StLawrenceWick
The #PortisheadToWestonSuperMare leg of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #AdoorableThursday
The perfect chancel arch from the #PortisheadToWestonSuperMare leg of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. This richly moulded wide pointed arch perfectly frames the tiny quire and altar of #StLawrenceWick
A look back at the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. Leg one: #PortisheadToWestonSuperMare Part B; #AllSaintsKingstonSeymour #StLawrenceWick #StPaulKewstoke
The #MouseFavouritePhoto from #StLawrenceWick #Somerset is another view of a tower from the west and a particularly fine tower with west door and window it is
And as #FontsMeanFareWell, what of the church of #StLawrenceWick #Somerset? Well this is simple light and bright church. Not packed with detail perhaps but enough to keep the #ChurchChomper engaged. Mouse award 4/5 #MusVisit ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
The enduring allure of #ChurchDoorFittings
Door to south porch #StLawrenceWick #Somerset
A rather curious fixation, perhaps, but it's definitely a Mouse fixation
Is the #StLawrenceWick just because it's much shorter than St Lawrence (Church), Wick St Lawrence?
Or is it the churches own name?
When the first isn't the last... sometimes you just can't make up your mind where to put yer key'ole
No escutcheon perhaps but a wonderfully rusty pull makes up for that #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #FerrousFriday
Memorial tablet in south porch #StLawrenceWick #Somerset
A rare #ArmoiriesDuVendredi for Mouse but this has a wonderful, slowly fading glory
Take your pick of the myriad interesting features here, but Mouse focusing on a toot on the #FridayPipes
#StLawrenceWick #Somerset
More disappearing #FridaysFacesInStone. 500 or so years can take toll on the complexion. West door #StLawrenceWick #Somerset
A somewhat battered font for #FortsOnFriday #StLawrenceWick #Somerset
Square section pedestal and base, rough cylindrical stem and asymmetric (although probably not deliberately) basin. Early Norman 'goblet'
A by now familiar sight in Somerset churches with no north aisle; window, pulpit and doors to rood stair
#StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday and a #DoorInMidAir
The rather fine gates and overthrow of #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #Thursgate and #IronworkThursday
The doorway to the parvis stair has a variant of fleuron carving. These fleurons are far less intricately carved than those found on the west doorway South porch #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
South porch #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
Doors to parvis stair, giving access to a parvis room now long gone
South porch #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
A door of no great age but pleasing nonetheless with it's symmetrical stud work and lantern
Extensively moulded C15 doorway #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
Complex mouldings either side of a cavetto decorated with carvings. Roll moulded label and head stops. The door is pleasingly studded and a delightful duck egg blue
It's late but it's never too late for a classic west door and window combo #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
Detail of porch roof #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #Woodensday
This really is a fine and delicate piece of work. Mouse not seen anything similar in her scampers to date
Nave #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #Woodensday
Common rafter roof with purlins and curved collars. The space between rafters is boxed hiding the detail of the roof above the collar purlin. Tiny nail holes in original timber hint that this was once all covered in lath and plaster
Chancel from under chancel arch #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #Woodensday
Wagon roof (although with a 2-centred geometry) with plastered and painted panels. The embattled wall beam (plate) mirrors the design of the porch roof
Very fine roof to the porch #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #Woodensday
Essentially a wagon roof, and with planked panels. Thin rafters supported by corbels. Embattled wall beam (plate), a pattern that continues across the elegant and finely carved ribs
South east of chancel #StLawrenceWick #Somerset #WindowsOnWednesday #FromInsideOut #ItsAllAboutTheLight
The masonry style of this wall suggests a C19 rebuild. The window however may well be C15. The surrounding stonework and mortar indicate that it's reset. Label and head stops certainly look both intact and authentic #StLawrenceWick #Somerset #WindowsOnWednesday #WallsOnWednesday
Intersection of porch with nave #StLawrenceWick #Somerset #TowerTuesday
The tiniest of stair turrets formerly giving access from porch to parvis room. Featuring a #TinyWindow now sadly blocked #TinyWindowTuesday
North of nave #StLawrenceWick #Somerset #TowerTuesday
This rather fine polygonal rood turret has been surrounded by C19 vestry, typical Victorian and rather industrial stack and stink pipe (The Stack and Stink Pipe is an East End Pub for chimney sweeps and sewer workers)
Looking up: The Mouse eye view (Part II of II). tower. West elevation #StLawrenceWick #Somerset #TowerTuesday #TraceryTuesday
The window is of particular interest, 3-light with cusped #Ogee lights, relieving arch and label with hollow square stops. Reticulated-Perp combo tracery
