The competition is fierce on this leg of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg. Not least in the destination for doors category. These three are of real historic interest #AllSaintsOtterhampton #StMaryKilve #StMartinFiddington #AdoorableThursday

For those interested in a little technical detail, the curved collar braces with the bosses have tiny flowers showing that they were exposed when the wagon roof was originally plastered. You can see nail holes on the others where the lath was attached #StMaryKilve #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast

Wonderful for wooden roofs from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMaryKilve. Chancel (left) and nave. A rare opportunity to see what a wagon roof looks like underneath the skin. The bosses mark out the panels which, made of lathe and plaster #Woodensday

The champion of chancel arches (and chancels) from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMaryKilve. The moulding of this C14 pointed arch is a wonderful frame for the sacred #StoneworkSunday #SundayStonework

Possibly a curious choice for #MouseFavouritePhoto from #StMaryKilve #Somerset but this is as much for interest as for aesthetic reasons. It's a chance to see what's under the skin of a C15 wagon roof, which doesn't come along every day of the week to say the very least

And as #FontsMeanFarewell what of the church of #StMaryKilve #Somerset? This may not be a big church. This may not be an important church. But this is a church that is interesting, well cared for and very easy to love. Mouse award a solid 4/5 #MusVisit🐭🐭🐭🐭

Perhaps this #Ogee arch once framed the stairs leading to the rood loft tucked inside the rood turret #StMaryKilve #Somerset

The windows of the 'gabled projection' (left) and the area adjacent. The former has its own tiny rafters and collars and looks as if it was inserted to throw light onto the pulpit. Mouse could imagine that this was once the door to the rood loft #StMaryKilve #Somerset

Time for Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StMaryKilve #Somerset. All of the bits and pieces Mouse didn't share during the week: Collapsed chest tomb #ItsTheOneThatGotAway

It's very late for Mouse, but never too late for a Norman font. As is so often the case this precious 900 year old font is surrounded by #ChurchClutter and a fine example of #StackingChairsInChurches. Also equipped with bat utility belt

A lovely sentiment, but a door like this shouldn't have thumb tacks pushed into it.
A double planked door with thick horizontal planks on the interior. The way the planks have been cut suggest that this is somewhat earlier than C19 #StMaryKilve #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday

From the churchyard #StMaryKilve #Somerset for #Thursgate
When you stand at this gate and look to the seemingly endless countryside, it can feel like you are standing at the edge of civilisation. Over there... wilderness

Modern it may be, but who can resist the lure of a good #Lychgate? Mouse can't. It will draw her in absolutely positively every time

South of chancel #StMaryKilve #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
Planked priest's door but possibly a bit of a #FrankenDoor. The low 4-centred cavetto head seems ill at ease with the roughly worked chamfers of the jambs

Ever wondered what's underneath the plastered panels of a wagon roof (left)? Well wonder no longer. The structure is shown on the right. If you'd like to know how Mouse could tell then visit an earlier post on her timeline #StMaryKilve #Somerset for #Woodensday

At first glance a common rafter roof with collars, collar purlin and a further purlin half way down the roof on each side. Colourful carved bosses sit at the intersections between purlins and every fourth collar. But this roof hides a secret #StMaryKilve #Somerset for #Woodensday

Reflections of Kilve. Square C15 2-light window with cusped #Ogee lights, hollow spandrels and narrow keeled label. Pukka as a pie #StMaryKilve #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday

The windows of #StMaryKilve #Somerset are predominantly square 2-light with label. Here with cusped pointed lights, hollow spandrels and head stops. The carving of the cusps gives one of the clues to the date #WindowsOnWednesday

Now obscured by a tree we have to look at earlier photographs and prints to see what the Listing describes as a 'window in a gabled projection'.
It's likely, in the light of the feature to its left, that this was once the rood turret

What has turned out to be a rather injudiciously planted tree (right) now obscures a (potentially) interesting feature of #StMaryKilve #Somerset... Part I

Some very elegant Perpendicular tracery in the 3-light window with cusped #Ogee lights. Very elegant indeed #StMaryKilve #Somerset for #TraceryTuesday

North #StMaryKilve #Somerset for #TowerTuesday
Square section stair turret with narrow square light to each stage. Typical of earlier towers. Also how the significant depth of the buttresses in comparison to the height of the tower #TinyWindowTuesday

Mouse eye view...
Square louvred light to bell stage. Square 2-light mullioned window with label to lower. Probably C17 which likely contributed to the dating of the tower. Badly eroded. Remnants of stops, which are too eroded to identify #StMaryKilve #Somerset for #TowerTuesday
