Thank you Devon Buildings Group and @ExeterCathedral for yesterday’s opportunity to explore a part of the cathedral I hadn’t seen before.
In a room above the chapel the chapel of St Andrew and St Catherine — a pig and piglets in stone.

The late saxon rood set into the porch at St Matthew's, Langford is a thing of beauty.
Simple and striking although sadly now headless, such a rare survival and a treat to see.

Begun 1339, disrupted by the Black Death & then suspended.
Existing church was to become the transept of the New Cathedral & the naves were to be developed in what is now Piazza Jacopo della Quercia.

This stunning carving of Christ in Majesty was found face down in the floor of the north aisle at St John the Baptist, Barnack in the 1930s.
It could possibly be as early as the 11thC or 13thC or somewhere in between..
Over 3ft high it's truly a thing of beauty

Quire, with north and south chapels, and chancel. St. Andrew's was a C12 priory church but as is often the case this is all a C19 rebuild. The steps are as a result of a resulting floor level change

Looking up at the underside of the absolutely glorious 12thC chancel arch at St Peter's, Tickencote.
The uneven nature and wonkiness is just wonderful.

Lots of Norman Romanesque decoration here and a typical circular arch on engaged column responds with large carved capitals. But the C19 rebuild leaves Mouse wondering how much is 'real'
