A few last moments from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: The place for faces in stone #StPeterHuntspill. Alas this poor knight and his lady (who's clearly a Cyberman) are destined to spend eternity under the closest of close scrutiny...
This example of #PerpyPerfection is one of Mouse's favourite ever photos. So many Perpendicular period details to enjoy... the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StPeterHuntspill #WindowsOnWednesday
Fabulous ferramenta from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StPeterHuntspill. C15 saddle and stanchion
Most wonderful windows from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StPeterHuntspill. A showcase of Perpendicular windows #WindowsOnWednesday
The porch that most made Mouse want to PIFAP on the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StPeterHuntspill. Diagonal buttresses, square set #Ogee light with glazed spandrels, parapet and string course. Lovely
As #FontsMeanFarewell it's time to move on to review the next leg of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. Leg three: #HuntspillToKilve Part A: #StPeterHuntspill #AllSaintsOtterhampton #StMaryCannington
Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StMaryCannington #Somerset. All of the bits and pieces Mouse forgot to share over the week: More Victorian Turkish bath than chancel sedilia, perhaps. Sans canopies and similar in design to #StPeterHuntspill
There were so many candidates for #MouseFavouritePhoto from #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset but this view of #PerpyPerfection captured what this church is all about
And as #FontsMeanFarewell, what of the church of #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset? A thick Victorian veneer over a beautiful C15 church, giving interest wherever you look. Another 4/5 from Mouse #MusVisit 🐭🐭🐭🐭
Finally some of Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset. Some of the bits and pieces Mouse forgot to share this week: Sedilia. No fancy ogee canopies here to mimic the saints, just a place to park your priestly posterior
Finally some of Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset. Some of the bits and pieces Mouse forgot to share this week: Simple 2-stage C15 porch. Perhaps Mouse's eyes are playing tricks but can she see a #GhostRoof? Was this once gable ended and single stage?
And finally some of Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset. Some of the bits and pieces Mouse forgot to share over the week: tiles, altar and reredos in seeming perfect visual harmony
East of north vestry #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #FerrousFriday
A 3-light pseudo-4-centred window with stepped pointed lights and glazed spandrels. Of more interest perhaps are the saddle and stanchion bars. Both original and ancient
Are you awake? The faces of the head terminals on this cusped segmental arch canopy give close inspection to the incumbents
#StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #FridaysFacesInStone
North chapel #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #FridayPipes
Beautifully painted organ pipes (the panel roof of the chapel isn't half bad for that matter)
It's late, but it's never too late for a font. In this case a C19 font in Norman Romanesque style (loosely) #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #FontsOnFriday
Inverted conical frustum bowl with 3-quarter roll moulding to the lip. Thick cylindrical stem. Octagonal base
A little #GloriousGateage for your delectation #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset #Thursgate #IronworkThursday
Time for a Mouse favourite from a 'visual pleasure' perspective. Two door and window combos, here's number two, west of tower #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday #WestDoorAndWindowCombo
Time for a Mouse favourite from a 'visual pleasure' perspective. Two door and window combos, here's number one, north aisle #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
The church of #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset offers a positive #Doornucopia of ingress options for #AdoorableThursday. Here's a sample (Part V of V): south aisle
A mirror image of that on the north aisle, identically located, yet this poor door lost part of its label to a buttress
The church of #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset offers a positive #Doornucopia of ingress options for #AdoorableThursday. Here's a sample (Part IV of V): Tower stair turret
Chamfered 3-centred doorway with planked and studded door. Mouse wonders what the breeze blocks replaced
The church of #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset offers a positive #Doornucopia of ingress options for #AdoorableThursday. Here's a sample (Part III of V): west of tower
Fine roll moulded pointed doorway, square set. Deep spandrels that bear uncarved shields. Flanked by engaged shafts

Triple moulded pointed doorway with C19 double leaf door. Mouldings; cavetto, cavetto, ovollo (from outside in)
The church of #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset offers a positive #Doornucopia of ingress options for #AdoorableThursday. Here's a sample (Part I of V): North chapel
A pointed doorway with a label, stops and carved spandrels that could give a door ideas above its station
For lovers of roof structures everywhere, a little detail of the Victorian nave roof #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #Woodensday
Through tower arch #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday
You have no idea how many attempts Mouse made to centre the beautiful west window in the arch. No idea. Was Mouse successful? No. Mouse was most certainly not successful
Through chancel arch to nave #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday and #Woodensday
The intricate structure of chancel and nave roofs lead the eye to the west window perfectly framed in the tower arch and illuminated by the corona lucis suspended mid-nave
North of chancel #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday
Window blocked to allow extension of the north chapel further east. The tracery matches that of the north aisle. It's good to see the window preserved, often they are just plastered over
East of chancel #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday
Authentic looking 5-light pointed window with pointed cusped lights and label with head stops. Mullions from the apex of each light extend to form four cusped, pointed panels surmounted by a quatrefoil each side
