The end of the road for the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast. Four legs, 22 churches, four very different winners. All special, all beautiful, but which takes the crown? #StPaulKewstoke #StMaryEastBrent #StMartinFiddington #StGeorgeDunster...

This all feels like modern Church inside ancient church. No pulpit here, this is lectern country #StPeterFreshford #Somerset for #SundaySermons

Sanctuary...
The sanctuary occupies small space. The chancel is much longer and widens into a north chapel #StPeterFreshford #Somerset #StainedGlassSunday

Truly the noblest of #FootBeast from @BooksTeaFilms TTM🐭

Please admire mane, paws, and claws - and a remarkably serene expression for a lion acting as a footrest for eternity

The ubiquity of the Romanesque. Is there anything finer? Not for this mus. The intricately carved capitals bear images reminiscent of the Green Man TTM🐭
(Wonderful photography from @emilia_romanica. Mouse recommend a follow for more loveliness)

The tiny south porch of #StPeterFreshford #Somerset. A church of C15 origin with significant C19 alterations. What will Mouse find inside? Tomorrow it's time to pop in for a poke

Welcome to a very rainy church of St. Peter in Freshford, Somerset (Mouse got rain on the lens). C15 in origin with alterations every century until a major C19 rebuild. Tower, nave, chancel, north aisle and chapel, south porch #StPeterFreshford #Somerset #SteepleSaturday

The church of #StMaryLimpley #Wiltshire is small and simple but offers some pleasing photos. Although this isn't a very good photo from a technical or artistic viewpoint the arch it portrays is of significant architectural interest and a rare survivor of a very distant past
From south aisle to nave #StMaryLimpley #Somerset for #StonemasonryMonday
A rather special Saxon arch. Typical narrow slightly stilted circular arch on plain piers with moulded imposts. Allegedly original doorway prior to addition of south aisle #LimpleySaxonArch Part I of IV

As Mouse move on, what of the church of #StMaryLimpley #Wiltshire? This is one for the hunter of ancient architecture, Saxon and Early English. Mouse award 4/5 #MusVisit🐭🐭🐭🐭

As sure as #FontsMeanFarewell, Mouse move on. On to the next church on the #ScamperUpTheSomersetAvon. First though, Mouse got to get up a great big hill. Why did they build churches on hills? To get closer to God? Oh, Mouse's poor paws #SteepleSaturday🐭

Unusual font dating to C16 with a vase stem although it feels like the basin is older

It's late but it's never too late for Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces, all of the bits and pieces Mouse didn't share during the week: Re-set medieval window to east of south aisle #StMaryLimpley #Wiltshire
East elevation of south aisle #StMaryLimpley #Wiltshire for #WindowsOnWednesday
Square set 3-light window with cusped (mildly) pointed lights and square moulded label. Recorded as an original C15 window reset in the C20 aisle

North of nave. Interior #StMaryLimpley #Wiltshire for (not so) #AdoorableThursday
The beautiful (probably) C15 north door has been re-planked inside. Insensitively, sadly. Inauthentic diagonal thin planks with bevels
A fitting time to introduce Mouse's #WartsAndAllPhotos #
