And here’s a St Michael who became a St George

bsky.app/profile/chuf...
Wooden figure now presented as St George in St Aposteln, Cologne. C15. Originally at the high altar of Weidenbach monastery opposite St Pantaleon, where it represented the Archangel Michael: his wings were lost during restoration in the 1950s. Treading unkindly on the little devil's weak spots.

Was there an original source for Those are the Days, or stitched together from the Leeds University film?

Seems as much that with ritual changes with the Book of Common Prayer a north door was no longer generally necessary and so often closed for practical reasons?

Devil’s door
Blocked-up door in the north wall of a church, once believed to have been an escape route for the Devil when he left a child as a result of the sacrament of baptism.
