Definitely one of the many #ThingsMouseLove 🐭

And one of Mouse's favourites, the #SixPetalledFlower with hollow petals on the pendants TTM🐭
#Christogram #ThingsMouseLove

The diversity and age of roof structures in churches is another of the #ThingsMouseLove. This is the barrel-vaulted plastered roof of the chancel. Again, simple structures are intrinsically beautiful to Mouse #StMichaelSopley #Hampshire #Woodensday

Two #ThingsMouseLove; the simplicity of a well carved pointed arch and a good #ChurchWindow and when the two come together Mouse world is a wonderful place

South of chancel Cavetto moulded single pointed light #StMichaelSopley #Hampshire #WindowsOnWednesday
Set in C17 handmade brick. English bond

Another of the #ThingsMouseLove: Carved faces. Often this kind of carving is reused or taken from another church (particularly after the Reformation) but these look both original and in situ #StMichaelSopley #Hampshire

Mouse can't resist a piscina. It's one of the #ThingsMouseLove most. This is cited as C13/C14 in the Listing. Curiously it is on the east wall of the north transept. Normally they sit on a south wall adjacent to an altar to the east of chancel or side chapel. Roll moulded pointed #ChurchPiscina

Definitely on of the #ThingsMouseLove TTM🐭

One of the #ThingsMouseLove: A #TinyWindow. Shown here on the stair turret to the tower and the stairway to the parvis room #StMaryFordingbridge #Hampshire

Another of the #ThingsMouseLove: A #SurprisedChurch

Mouse sees faces in all sorts of inanimate objects and to Mouse many churches have a look of surprise on their faces. The church of #StMaryFordingbridge #Hampshire is a good example
#FacePareidolia

#FromInsideOut #JustPlainGlass #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire #ThingsMouseLove

One of the most beautiful windows Mouse ever found

#FromInsideOut #JustPlainGlass #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire #ThingsMouseLove

Another of the #ThingsMouseLove: #ChurchPiscina

Usually to the south of the sanctuary in east-west aligned church (which most Mouse visit are). Often smashed or filled (like stoups), removed or buried. Many reinstated (likely) by Victorian restorers. Claimed C15 (1/3) #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire

The face(s) of #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire

Another of the many #ThingsMouseLove a good carved face staring back at us from the past. Corbel ends. Nave arch. These appear to be in situ and so date to the arch

South door (within porch) #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire

Romanesque; circular arch supported on nook shafts with scalloped cushion capitals and moulded imposts. Left capital (probably) original. Right capital a simple but fairly faithful modern reproduction #ThingsMouseLove #ChurchDoorway #Romanesque

#ThingsMouseLove: A perfect #ViewFromTheChurchDoor From #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire

You could easily imagine that the other side of the Romanesque doorway is the 12th Century and you could take one step into the past

Chamfered outer and roll moulded inner arch on chamfered jambs and engaged columns

#ThingsMouseLove: A good #Romanesque #ChurchDoorSurround

South porch framing Romanesque door to nave. Two orders of circular arch. Well carved, wide roll moulding and roll moulded label with plain stops. Nook shafts to front. Attached columns to rear. Greensand. C12 #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire

Fabulous sarcophagus #PawsNclaws on the mahoosive south transept memorial #StMaryHale #Hampshire #StMaryHaleMemorials (6/6) #ThingsMouseLove

Moss and lichen and falling leaves. Just one of those quintessentially English feeling scenes from yesteryear The #Lychgate of #StMaryHale #Hampshire #ThingsMouseLove

Mouse was partway to the sea when she joined the place where the sky is blue on her #SalisburyToTheSea scamper and so this is a bit of a catch up. Like on streaming. We've not caught up with Live yet. The journey to the next church down the Avon starts here. #ThingsMouseLove #GloriousGateage

The last of the #ThingsMouseLove from #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire and this is a biggie: A good #Pintle. next to this ancient grille is a pair of tiny drive pintles that suggest this mysterious opening beneath one of the chancel windows once had an external shutter

Some #ThingsMouseLove: A #FabulousFont

C13 #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire

Some #ThingsMouseLove: The allure of good #ChurchDoorFittings. Studs, fillets and fittings. South door #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire #WhatsNotToLove?

#ThingsMouseLove TTM🐭

Exterior (left) and interior. Roll moulded continuous pointed doorway. Pseudo-4-centred rere. Single planked extensively studded ledged and framed door with moulded fillets

Some #ThingsMouseLove: Discovering glorious glimpses of #RomanesqueDetail. Carved abacus. North arcade #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire. Supporting double pointed arches with arris (unmoulded) from greensand and ironstone. Cylindrical piers below

Some #ThingsMouseLove: The art of #FromInsideOut photography and the simplicity of #JustPlainGlass in a church window. South of chancel #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire

Some #ThingsMouseLove: Finding fragments of medieval glass hidden in a #StainedGlassWindow #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire

Some #ThingsMouseLove: A sarcophagus with claws n paws. Monument south of chancel #StLaurenceDownton #Wiltshire
