West of tower #StMaryHutton #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday A door worthy of a closeup. C15 stud and moulded fillet with a rich colour that only comes with time and care

Mouse on a massive obscure #TwitterSnap run at the moment. From Zara Handley - SNAP! (Well, almost) TTM🐭 Mouse heard some people this place as a hole, but Mouse quite liked in here (niche)

Door or gate? #StMaryHutton #Somerset for #Thursgate or #AdoorableThursday North of nave. Mouse love this kind of box pew and is always delighted to find some rare survivors. These C17. They remind Mouse of 3rd class open carriages on Victorian railways. All aboard for worship!

South of C19 rebuilt chancel #StMaryHutton #Somerset Priest's door. Ovolo moulded pointed doorway housing planked door with some 'statement' hinges. The relieving arch of roughly hewn voussoir hints at the construction period. Quite cutesy Mouse think

Lovely simple church gate and another not so subliminal warning from the time traveling would be oligarch to stop calling this social media platform Twitter #StMaryHutton #Somerset #Thursgate

Mouse love the aesthetic of the Perpendicular west window and door combo. The west often considered the narthex and original location of the font, but were windows and doors like this put in at the same time? There's a clue in this one #StMaryHutton #Somerset #AdoorableThursday

Loss of face... These are described as angels, but Mouse think they are seated figures. There seems to have been a (now) lost bottom section and although weathered were probably not the original stops #StMaryHutton #Somerset #FridaysFacesInStone

Talk about hedging your bets... this is described as 'a font of late date', probably because it could be a genuine Perpendicular font or a Victorian copy. What do you reckon? #StMaryHutton #Somerset for #FontsOnFriday

It's very late, but it's never too late for a high quality #BootScraper... and as if by magic, here's a corker #StMaryHutton #Somerset for #FerrousFriday

Panel of four quatrefoils with opposing pointed lobes arranged around a cross #StMaryHutton #Somerset #FontsOnFriday Zoom in to see the tooling around the quatrefoils. Does that help with the dating at all?

Ancient and modern ... Mouse woke up this morning and realised that she hadn't shared her #FridayPipes. Well here they are accompanied by a KORG keyboard and a TV screen #StMaryHutton #Somerset

Now, this. This. This is a most precious thing, it's called a reverse #TwitterSnap courtesy of TracyK🌟👑🕊️🐝. Mouse looking back at the church from the big field. It's a bit low res but that's how Mouse rolled back in the day. SNAP! TTM🐭

Normally, as #FontsMeanFarewell, Mouse would be moving on to the next church on her scamper but Mouse off on her hols and so she won't be resuming the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast for a few weeks. Don't touch that dial!

And so as #FontsMeanFarewell what of the church of #StMaryHutton #Somerset? Another typically charming Perpy church. Not startling, but with enough interest to hold the attention of this Mouse. Well worth a quick visit at least. A solid 3/5 #MusVisit 🐭🐭🐭

Mouse suggested that nothing really stood out at the church of #StMaryHutton #Somerset which made choosing a #MouseFavouritePhoto quite tricky, but there is something about the simplicity of this door and the blend of textures and colours that makes it a winner
