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.
