An arch in white and greenish grey marble is topped w a band of decorated marble and stands proud of the wall of the church, resting on columns with Corinthian capitals with lions' heads among the acanthus leaves. The tympanum arch is also decorated with acanthus leaves, resting on the heads of two lions, resting on their paws. In the centre is a tracery circle with 8 arms, each has a small column on which decorative arches perforate the circle. Further wavy and leafy decoration extends around the circle. Under that is a shelf-like feature extending forward with 10 supports. This too is elaborately decorated above and in 4 rows below the 'shelf' with inverted Us, egg-and-dart type decoration, leaves and beading. Below that is the header of the door: a panel featuring six mythical/mysterious scenes, eg a mermaid with a split tail that wraps in a circle over her head, a horse with a human body/head, a lion standing on/biting a ?bull and dragon-like creatures. This rests on Corinthian columns that form the doorway.

& this one was not the easiest to photograph well with the huge light source of the west window above the remounted tympanum of St Mary's Church, Fownhope
from the Hereford school
The Norman tympanum at St Michael and All Angels, Hallaton is now situated in the porch rather than above the door.
Showing St Michael and the dragon it is as Pevsner suggests 'vigorous and dramatic'
In fact St Michael looks more like he's dragon surfing!

#TympanumTuesday & feel like this photograph came out surprisingly well since it was snapped through a grille (the church porch was locked)
St Peters Church, Pedmore - believed to be a Hereford School imitation

The Great West Door at Rochester Cathedral with its Romanesque tympanum. 📸 My own. #TympanumTuesday #RochesterCathedral #Kent
#TympanumTuesday & hard not to feel sad about this one
The Shobdon arches: some of the finest work of the Hereford School, ripped out of the church & left on a hillside to erode
There's a cast of this in the V&A i need to go see

#TympanumTuesday with this of Christ in majesty at St Kenelm's Church, Halesowen
Believed to be a derivative work imitating the Hereford School based on a few characteristics

The tympanum above the door has a carving 8 swirls surrounding a central cross
#TympanumTuesday
The rather strange swirly things above the door of the Church of St Peter, Little Comberton, Worcestershire.
11th or 12th century.
No one is sure what they represent.
Tympanum above doorway of Romanesque church, all in shades of white to creamy/goldish stone. Supported by flat columns and slender columns on either side, the latter more decorative, with lions resting on platform above Corinthian capitals. Tympanum arch is simple semi-circle with stylised leaf motif around the archivolt. The lintel above the door bears an inscription recording the date of a restoration in 1900s, above which is base of architrave, featuring decorative Romanesque lintel with lively scenes of people harvesting grapes from vines that curl around them.
#TympanumTuesday
Pure and simple.
Archivolt of acanthus leaves, 2 #tinylions + architrave carved w rural joys of the grape harvest add decorative touch to classic Romanesque front of Cathedral of St Christopher in Barga, Tuscany, originating 11th C.
