Details
This lovely old church door. An old lady stood and admired it with us for a moment. I know we’ve stopped and stared at it before, because three years ago I posted a closeup of the stone carving on the left side.
Up close, it looks like a weasel sucking his paw.
This time, Uncle B noticed this little metal plate in the door. It didn’t look like it was covering a keyhole, so I’m not sure its purpose. It’s the silhouette of an oak leaf with an acorn superimposed. Pretty little thing.
The main structure is 13th C, but this church has had a lot of work over the years, so who knows how old it is. This church has a very fine 20th C lychgate, one of many built to commemorate WWI.
It’s funny the ancient buildings we visit every year, and every year we notice some new detail.

We can all sincerely hope that as we get older, those new details we notice aren’t the same new details we noticed last year. 🙄
