Mouse's favourite type. Here are some more for you to enjoy; from #StMaryFiddington (one of Mouse's very favourite churches), #StMaryBerrow and #StPeterBleadon. All in the county of #Somerset #England
Too much egg in my pudding...
Central motif of blind pointed cusped 2-light window surmounted by quatrefoil of the local school on a C15 font (right) #StPeterBleadon and C19 homage(?) #AllsaintsKingstonSeymour. This is what Mouse mean when she say #UberGothic #StonemasonryMonday

The #ScamperDownTheAxe. 16 churches, just 28 miles over 16 weeks. And here they are: #ChurchesOfTheAxe (4 of 4) #StJohnBiddisham #StMaryChriston #StAndrewLoxton #StPeterBleadon
Another open and shut case for #MouseFavouritePhoto from the church of #StPeterBleadon #Somerset. This is a church #AllAboutTheLight and no more so than this marvellous pattern from the stained glass
As #FontsMeanFarewell what of the church of #StPeterBleadon #Somerset? This is a simple church but packed with interest, notable for the quality of light from its fine windows and for some wonderful rescued encaustic medieval tiles. Mouse edged it up to a 4/5 #MusVisit ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell, Mouse move on, although the church of #StPeterBleadon #Somerset is sadly the last of the #ScamperDownTheAxe. In the distance the river Axe meets the sea and Mouse is back on #BreanDown again as she was around this time last year... #TheAxeMeetsTheSea Part 1 of 2
And as Mouse prepares to leave the lovely church of #StPeterBleadon #Somerset, a moment to enjoy this remarkably intact Norman tub font, nestled on its C13 shaft and pedestal. It's obviously not working though as its #ChurchClutter gravity has failed #FontsOnFriday
This curious little door has its pintles on the outside, where most have them inside. That means this tiny door opens outwards probably because the stair turret is itself tiny #StPeterBleadon #Somerset #FerrousFriday #PintlesInAction #Pintle
And finally from Mouse... a little crepuscular gateage fresh from #StPeterBleadon #Somerset #Thursgate #IronworkThursday (either that or Mouse just accidentally captured a passing soul)
The last of what has been a positive #Doornucopia at #StPeterBleadon #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday South of chancel. Interior of priest's door.
Little grilles matching the small external shutter doors. But Mouse say just one thing 'cusped finialled #Ogee'
Similar to the church at Loxton this doorway matches the rood door but seems to be in the wrong place to lead to it. There's no corresponding external arch either. It does make a good frame for the Madonna and child though, Mouse suppose
#StPeterBleadon #Somerset #AdoorNoMore
Curious little doors set into the priest's door, south of chancel #StPeterBleadon #Somerset #AdoorableThursday
The door is probably Victorian and so their purpose is anyone's guess. If they were medieval it would be lepers. It's always lepers
This little Decorated fella (panic not, Mouse asked how he identify) is surprised that the neighbours are Perpendicular. One for the file marked #SurprisedChurches #StPeterBleadon #Somerset
Pretty perfect Perpiness....
West of tower #StPeterBleadon #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
Beautiful 4-light window with steeply cusped lights, set back by a deep splay surmounting a wonderful square (headed) doorway. Mouse heaven, Mouse tell you. Mouse heaven
South of chancel #StPeterBleadon #Somerset #AdoorableThursday
The cusped head of this priest's door is probably C13 but this is a C19 assemblage of 'bits found hither and thither'. A typical Victorian #FrankenDoor, if you will
North of nave #StPeterBleadon #Somerset #DoorwayThursday #AdoorNoMore
In the same way that Mouse imagine a cashiered officer having his epaulettes ripped off and his sword snapped over his commanding officer's knee, Mouse imagine this door's label and stops being chipped off
Base of tower stair turret #StPeterBleadon #Somerset #AdoorableThursday
Nestled amid modern rainwater goods, hand rails and prison issue lighting this cutesy triangular headed door has a very unusual feature. Who's going to tell Mouse what it is?
If the door of this light and shadow decorated porch isn't unusual enough, then the curious face slowly emerging bottom right certainly is. Is it just Mouse seeing that eye, nose and mouth? #StPeterBleadon #Somerset #AdoorableThursday Face #Pareidolia
West door to tower #StPeterBleadon #Somerset #AdoorableThursday
Lovely 4-centred arch set in square headed doorway. Plain label, badly eroded head stops and shields in spandrels. Mouse had an epiphany, she think the wise men popped in for tea
Good news everyone. This is the new Norman helmet emoji recently agreed by the international emoticon body. Either that or it's Mouse's raging face #Pareidolia at work again
