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?

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

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

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

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
