You'd be surprised too if you woke up one morning and suddenly one eye was vastly bigger than the other...

#SurprisedChurches #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #AdoorableThursday

One for the file marked #SurprisedChurches.

The chancel of #StMaryPortbury #NorthSomerset is surprised by how tight that clasping buttress is. "It's making my eye water" yells the chancel

Undoubtedly the most surprised of the #SurprisedChurches from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg. "Look what they've don to my beautiful face!" quoth the chancel #StAndrewOldCleeve

The most surprised of #SurprisedChurches from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMartinFiddington #AdoorableThursday. "I'm not surprised, I knew my moment would come". He (worry not, pronouns checked) clearly is though. Bless

A French entry for #SurprisedChurches.

Where can you find the most surprised of #SurprisedChurches on the #PortisheadToWestonSuperMare leg of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast? Right here at #AllSaintsKingstonSeymour. "This award has come as a big surprise. I'd like to thank my mother church and everyone who built me"

A late entry for the file marked #SurprisedChurches. Perhaps this church is surprised that Mouse is leaving it so soon. Is that a great big tear in her eye? (Panic not, pronouns checked) #StAndrewOldCleeve #Somerset

Open the chunky file marked #SurprisedChurches and drop this in. Doubtless surprised and in no small measure disappointed by distant shouts of "Oi! Titchy chancel" #StMartinFiddington #Somerset

And finally from Mouse; one for the file marked #SurprisedChurches. The surprise here is that the Victorians knocked down the medieval chancel (why did they keep doing that?) and replaced it with one that has ghastly windows #StMichaelBrentKnoll #Somerset

Some last glimpses of #StPaulKewstoke #Somerset

One for the file marked #SurprisedChurches. "I fell asleep for five minutes and when I woke up someone had whipped me porch off..."

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

Drawn from the ever expanding archive of #SurprisedChurches. The word Mouse looking for here is 'nonplussed', probably by the curious tendency of headstones to lean over for no apparent reason

One for the file marked #SurprisedChurches. Chancel south #StGregoryWeare #Somerset #AdoorableThursday

Unusually #StCongarBadgworth #Somerset is making two entries. The nave looks like it got caught off guard too #SurprisedChurches

So surprised that one eye is bigger than the other. The chancel #StCongarBadgworth #Somerset vying for a top ten finish in the county #SurprisedChurches play-offs. Surprised by the amount of junk left lying about, no doubt

One for #SurprisedChurches from #StAndrewCheddar #Somerset #AdoorableThursday

Bloated Perp window seems to barge its Decorated neighbour out of the way so no wonder there's surprise at such treatment. A metaphor for the development of church architecture

Mouse can never stand on the threshold of a church, however humble, however blighted by carelessly located bins, however close to the echelon of #SurprisedChurches and not tremble with anticipation. If it's a porch it's time to pop in for a poke #StLeonardRodneyStoke #Somerset
