I have seen the font at St Mary's, Meysey Hampton described as early English but very much recut. However I'm definitely more inclined to believe Pevsner who states it was provided by James Brooks who rebuilt and restored much of the church in the 1870s.

I've got William Blake too and William Hogarth, I keep my eye out for them all the time!
The museum crossover boots always sold out incredibly quickly, these were bought new from a popular resale site for not much more than they would have been originally. They are pricey but they do at least last!
I appear to have accidently bought myself a new pair of Docs... Oh dear 😊

Nearly, it's St Luke's, Gaddesby
The most thoughtful lectern ever! He's definitely an overthinker
A faint, faded painting of St Margaret of Antioch at St Andrew's, Stoke Dry.
She appears to be standing on the dragon that swallowed her so I think it's showing her post having burst out of its tummy and just before tethering it using her girdle.

Anne Cope rests her head on an incredibly plump embroidered and tasselled cushion at St Andrew's, Stoke Dry.
Somehow she still doesn't look very comfy!

For St David's day here is the saint by Leonard Evetts at St John the Baptist, Alnmouth. The collection of windows in the church by Evetts are all rather lovely and such a contrast to the 19thC glass in the church.

Bracing!
Are you going to finally build an indoor bathroom this year?
A crowned lion and a dragon dancing together whilst having a very animated conversation on the monument to Edmund Tame d1534 and his two wives at St Mary's, Fairford.
I'm assuming they would originally have been enamelled or inlaid, the colour must have been so vivid.
#Caturday,
I can see that now, a great big fat bird!
Could be a chalice... Could be a font.... Could just be a random collection of scratches...
All Saints, Woolstone certainly has plenty of fascinating graffiti, all of it open to many different interpretations.
#WallsonWednesday
Definitely tat!
Followed by a long sigh..
A slightly comedic view of a horses derrière at Manchester City Art Gallery.

A saxon grave slab at St Michael and All Angels, Hallaton. It was obviously all about the interlace until it was suddenly decided that rosettes were needed.

I thought that too. There are four faces in total and I've seen them described as two humans and two demons but this definitely looks more animal to me.
A strange bug eyed creature on the 13thC font at St Michael and All Angels, Hallaton.

Sadly I've not got a clue, it's one of a number of stone fragments in a corner
rather lovely grave slab at St John the Baptist, Barnack.
For a small slab it's certainly well covered in decoration.

The absolutely stunning 12thC Virtues triumphing over Vices font at St Peter's, Southrop.
In this scene patience is seen scourging wrath. I was particularly taken with the little buildings sitting on top of the arcade, the detail throughout is jaw dropping.

12th/13th/14thC painted draperies in the Galilee Chapel at Durham Cathedral for #TextileTuesday
I'm hedging my bets date wise, I've read that the painting of Cuthbert on the right is 12thC but the draperies might be later.
The footrest on the tomb of Ralph Green d.1417 at St Peter's, Lowick seems to be subtly suggesting that he's rather fed up of the status quo and things are about to get interesting!
#MonumentsMonday
What an excellent photo!
It's such a lovely house, so difficult to get a good photo of the whole of the house though.
Adam and Eve and the tree of knowledge with a rather grumpy faced serpent at All Saints, Oakham.

The off centred bowl is so.... I'm struggling to find words
The bowl looks slightly like an ashtray!
