Heidi The History Mouse

Is it odd for a mus to have a favourite cat breed? Oh, no. Mouse got Gondii🐭

Mouse live in a home for the terminally confused🐭

Mouse raise a full glass of Montepulciano to your talent. Saluti!🐭

Good point, well made!🐭

That's impressive. Lovely classical arcades too🐭

Mousey giggles🐭

Gotta love a quiz🐭

South door (interior) #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #AdoorableThursday

Large horizontal planks showing that the door is of double planked construction. Although this looks authentic, there is a bevel between each plank which suggests that it's more modern than C15

You'd be surprised too if you woke up one morning and suddenly one eye was vastly bigger than the other...

#SurprisedChurches #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #AdoorableThursday

South of chancel #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #AdoorableThursday

Tiny planked priest's door more suited to a farm building than a church perhaps. The pseudo-4-centred deeply moulded doorway has been re-set

Lovely blue and gold clock face above a fine #WestDoorAndWindowCombo #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #AdoorableThursday

As an aside the dressing of the stone has a C19 feel although it's dated to mid-C15. Quite unlike the rubble fill of near neighbour #StMaryPortbury

West of tower #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #AdoorableThursday

Filleted door, very similar in design to the south door with the addition of a thick bottom ledge. It is more likely than not a modern replacement. The #RichlyMoulded pointed doorway dates to mid C15

Hooray! A gate with a church behind it. What more could you want? #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #Thursgate #IronworkThursday

South porch interior #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #AdoorableThursday

Rather beautiful filleted door with styles extending to a pointed arch around the head. The quality and patina of the wood suggest age and good maintenance. Only the inside will tell

Just is doing a lot of heavy lifting there! If Mouse could do illustrations she wouldn't be using the word just. Mouse got no discernable artistic skill. It's the paws🐭

British Blue? Loving the cusping on his head🐭

Yup. Bang on. Mouse think there's no straight lines in Decorated-style at all🐭

Mouse thank you❤️🐭

You've hit gold there for Mouse. Mouse loves looking at the evolution of walls and trying to work out the order in which things changed🐭

Mouse rock to the soul🐭

But straight lines mean Perp to Mouse although this is probably very early C15🐭

This is a toughy and actually Mouse never seen this pattern before. It does look like flowing (or curvilinear) as you say with daggers and quatrefoils in inflexed lozenges but there are straight lines extending to the head of the arch. It's almost like a Decorated to Perpendicular transition....

No straight lines in nature, no straight lines in Decorated-period tracery that what Mouse always say. Well... not always, sometimes she say other things like "Roquefort is lovely" and "mind my Prosecco"🐭

Tricky one this and not made any easier by the distance. First glance says Decorated-style because of what looks like a pointed quatrefoil in a roundel, but up close there are verticals extending from each light apex to the head of the pointed arch which says Perpendicular-style to Mouse🐭

There'll be a fire extinguisher right next to the font. There absolutely always is 🐭

A 3-light one is Mouse's absolute favourite because it seems to have visually appealing proportions, but the general style is a Mouse favourite for sure🐭

The relieving arch on the second one could be C15, but more like part of the C19 rennovation. Mouse think the first one is the original C15 window. It ws curtailed and the bottom section filled in with stone to allow for the wooden panelling on the interior walls🐭

Like Mick, Keith, Bill and Ronnie🐭

Um...yes?🐭

But not, Mouse hopes, the same intonation. Mouse think the same, the east elevation (right) is a C19 copy albeit rather a good one🐭
