South of nave (interior) #StAndrewOldCleeve #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday
Either a coincidence or a designer who really knows their decorative history. Echoes of Norman Romanesque square-set saltire but with an overlaid circle and a Christian wheel hidden inside #Christogram
The font at #AllSaintsOtterhampton #Somerset has a bottom lip with a shallow chamfer to the top face. Both faces decorated with saltires set in squares. Mouse favourite Norman optical illusion. Stare hard enough and you'll see eight spokes in a lozenge #FontsOnFriday #Christogram
Sanctuary encaustic tiles #AllertonChurch #Somerset for #TilesOnTuesday
Truly beautiful white on blue fleur-de-lis and if you look carefully at the border you'll see a clever little optical illusion allusion that only really works from hooman standing height #Christogram
The east doorway, Great Tower #ChepstowCastle
Tympanum and voussoir (and very faintly the lintel too) are decorated with the cross pattern so familiar to Mouse on her travels. Optical illusion and #Christogram from 900 years ago
Pigeon was a bonus
And one of Mouse's favourites, the #SixPetalledFlower with hollow petals on the pendants TTM🐭
