A few last moments from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: The place to find a wonderful rood #StMaryCannington. The rood group is said to be C15 with C19 restoration. If true this is a great survivor of turbulent times (and a beautiful photo)

Today's the first of February. The scene for February on the 12th Century Labours of the Months font at Burnham Deepdale, Norfolk shows a seated man warming his feet by the fire. The scenes run clockwise, so right to left. December, January and February all show a man at rest.

Like much of what survives to us, rescued from the English Reformation and the Commonwealth this wonderful rood group was hidden, bricked up in a niche only to be discovered centuries later🐭

The enduring allure of #ChurchDoorFittings If the south door is late medieval or early modern as it looks, then this combined pull and escutcheon is a much later addition. The slotted screwheads tell all. Somewhat shonkily fitted too #StGeorgeDunster #Somerset for #FerrousFriday

#Woodensday #ReliefWednesday Quite breath taking. St Peter's Chapel: originally c.1200 great hall for Durham's powerful Prince Bishops @ Auckland Castle. Amazing ceiling has arms of Bishop Cosin who converted to chapel after monarchy restored. #AdventAngels as a bonus Restored by aucklandproject.org

A wooden ceiling set above high level windows has multiple carved timber panels featuring many types of decoration, eg cross hatching, circle with cross or bishop's mitre, quartered with Bishop of Durham's heraldic lion rampant, giant ovals with unusual green ?eagles.
Also visible are the east window and windows set high on the north and south walls. Several arches to aisles on either side can be seen, between which are carved angels with wings flattened against the walls.

✨From the archives: St Mary’s, Breamore in Hampshire, is one of the most complete late Anglo-Saxon churches we have — a building that’s held its ground for over a millennium. Here I photographed it with the Elizabethan Breamore House behind it, two eras folded into one view.

From today’s walk: a break in the clouds lit up Yester Kirk (1710) in the 18th century planned village of Gifford, East Lothian.

A church with a central tower and spire with bare trees either side, against dark clouds.

Once you're in, you're not getting out . The crypt of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. Typical C13 square set window with tapered monolithic lintel and cill. You sometimes see those appearing as spolia if you ever wondered what they were. Serious bars too #FerrousFriday

One of the three Folkton Drums that were excavated during the late C19th at Folkton, near Filey in East Yorkshire. The drums were associated with a child’s burial, and date to around 3000 BC. Part of the collections at the British Museum. 📸 My own. #Archaeology #FolktonDrums

It’s St Barbara’s Day and there’s the old custom of bringing a twig of a fruit-bearing tree home today and setting it into water. It might bloom on Christmas Day and that means very good fortune. Or not. As our 5th #yulefolklore story from the Bavarian Alps shows us. Read it in the link below.

Whithorn Priory in Dumfries & Galloway. The building you see today is the successor to the first church in Scotland, probably built over sixteen centuries ago in the 390s. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot... #Scotland #DumfriesAndGalloway #Whitorn #WhithornPriory

The image shows a roofless grey stone church from an oblique angle from the left centre of the frame back into it on the right. There is an ornate arched doorway on the side of the near corner and tall window openings along the church. There are gravestones in the foreground. The scene is in sunlight.

Treen barrow (the best-preserved one) – a Neolithic entrance grave near the amazing Gurnard's Head pub on the road to St Ives (and the spectacular headland/coast path). Makes for the perfect day out really. #TombTuesday

The church of St Peter & St Paul Ormskirk has both a tower and a spire at the same end of the building, an arrangement unique in England apparently 😲. #SteepleSaturday
