And as #FontsMeanFarewell, what of the church of #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset? A thick Victorian veneer over a beautiful C15 church, giving interest wherever you look. Another 4/5 from Mouse #MusVisit 🐭🐭🐭🐭

Finally some of Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset. Some of the bits and pieces Mouse forgot to share this week: Sedilia. No fancy ogee canopies here to mimic the saints, just a place to park your priestly posterior

Finally some of Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset. Some of the bits and pieces Mouse forgot to share this week: Simple 2-stage C15 porch. Perhaps Mouse's eyes are playing tricks but can she see a #GhostRoof? Was this once gable ended and single stage?

North chapel #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #FridayPipes

Beautifully painted organ pipes (the panel roof of the chapel isn't half bad for that matter)

Are you awake? The faces of the head terminals on this cusped segmental arch canopy give close inspection to the incumbents

It's late, but it's never too late for a font. In this case a C19 font in Norman Romanesque style (loosely) #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #FontsOnFriday

Inverted conical frustum bowl with 3-quarter roll moulding to the lip. Thick cylindrical stem. Octagonal base

And finally some of Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset. Some of the bits and pieces Mouse forgot to share over the week: tiles, altar and reredos in seeming perfect visual harmony

Time for a Mouse favourite from a 'visual pleasure' perspective. Two door and window combos, here's number two, west of tower #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday #WestDoorAndWindowCombo

The church of #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset offers a positive #Doornucopia of ingress options for #AdoorableThursday. Here's a sample (Part IV of V): Tower stair turret

Chamfered 3-centred doorway with planked and studded door. Mouse wonders what the breeze blocks replaced

The church of #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset offers a positive #Doornucopia of ingress options for #AdoorableThursday. Here's a sample (Part V of V): south aisle

A mirror image of that on the north aisle, identically located, yet this poor door lost part of its label to a buttress

Fine roll moulded pointed doorway, square set. Deep spandrels that bear uncarved shields. Flanked by engaged shafts

For lovers of roof structures everywhere, a little detail of the Victorian nave roof #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #Woodensday
September 17, 2025 at 8:39 PM
Through chancel arch to nave #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday and #Woodensday

The intricate structure of chancel and nave roofs lead the eye to the west window perfectly framed in the tower arch and illuminated by the corona lucis suspended mid-nave

Through tower arch #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday

You have no idea how many attempts Mouse made to centre the beautiful west window in the arch. No idea. Was Mouse successful? No. Mouse was most certainly not successful

Spot the difference from #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday

The left window is a 3-light design to be seen in many Perpendicular churches. Almost a standard. The right window adds detail to the tracery; Y pieces from the intersections topped with quatrefoil

North elevation #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday and #WallsOnWednesday

From left to right; vestry with buttresses and plain parapet with C19 stack above. Embattled north chapel with three tall Perp windows, separated by buttresses, and north door. Rood turret

North chapel #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday

Peak Perp. The windows dominate the elevation, separated by solid buttresses with offsets and battlemented parapet above

The colour of the stone and contrast with the green foliage make this beautiful to behold

North chapel #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #WindowsOnWednesday

One of three 3-light windows with cusped pointed lights and lozenge terminals. The tracery will be familiar. Y from centre apex. Mullions from apex either side. Y from intersections enclosing quatrefoil to top

From south west #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #TowerTuesday

The stair turret is cleverly inset between the buttresses of the south west corner. It gives the impression of a fairytale castle or even a rocket waiting for launch against a gantry, Rather lovely think Mouse

The church of #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset is almost en-tile-y tiled which is unusual for the churches on this particular scamper. The tiles are of a fine quality too #TilesOnTuesday

(Sadly the electrician here needs to feel Mouse's wrath... see background #ChurchWiringNightmare)

A Mouse eye view part II of II #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #TowerTuesday

Polygonal stair turret in between the set back buttresses of the south-west corner of the tower. Each #TinyWindow has correspondingly tiny glazing bars #TinyWindowTuesday

A Mouse eye view part I of II #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #TowerTuesday

Showing the considerable size of the set back buttresses in relation to the overall size of the tower. The buttresses terminate at the bell stage and are topped with pent coping

It's Tuesday. Well, it is where Mouse is right now. That can only mean some evening tower action and here it is. Sturdy looking 3-stage tower with, string courses, set back buttresses with offsets and embattled parapet #StPeterHuntspill #Somerset for #TowerTuesday
