Not only but also.... Fabby #FromInsideOut and the only other little door in a window Mouse has so far seen. Mouse's was at #StLawrenceStratford (Stratford-sub-castle, #Wiltshire). The window's single light, the photo's not as good, but it is #TheTwitterMouse in a selfie TTM🐭

It's late. Oh so late. But it's never too late for some glorious gating from the #AvonScamper2024. #StMarysUpavon #AllSaintsFittleton #StLawrenceStratford #Thursgate #IronworkThursday #TheHistoryMouseTopThree

Some special Wednesday mentions from #TheAvonScamper2024. And finally... the exquisitely carved C17 screen at #StLawrenceStratford which frames the altar and chancel perfectly from every angle #Woodensday

As it's Wednesday, time for some churches from the #AvonScamper2024 with resplendent roofs. Trusses, bays, corbels and wagons; #StMaryAndStMelorAmesbury #StLawrenceStratford #AllSaintsNetherAvon #Woodensday #TheHistoryMouseTopThree

Churches on the #AvonScamper2024 for those with a weakness for walls. Walls full of ghosts, walls that remind us of the past. Churches that wear their history on their skin #StMaryAndStMelorAmesbury #StAndrewDurnford #StLawrenceStratford #WallsOnWednesday #TheHistoryMouseTopThree

So what of #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire? From the outside nothing spectacular for sure. In fact Mouse would go as far as to say has the impression of locked or disused. But inside. Oh my. The inside.

As Mouse said her goodbyes to #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire she bumped into this little fella. Shame we didn't meet earlier. He's quite a looker this particular church mouse.

To Mouse it's always been the case that #FontsMeanFarewell and it really is farewell this time as #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire is the very last church of the scamper. Goodbye Stratford and goodbye River Avon

This C13 font was once square and is now octagonal. When you look closely at the surfaces and geometry of the font you can see how it was done #FontsOnFriday #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire

The font at #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire is C13 in origin although the base looks like it's a replacement judging by the carving #FontsOnFriday

Mouse mentioned that #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire was once surrounded by a now disappeared medieval settlement of some size. Now, looking north, it's greenery as far as the eye can see.

A grand entrance. Isolated now ground archaeology tells us that this church was once the heart of a bustling medieval community. Which is why it's a long walk albeit a grand one under this fabby overthrow. Welcome to #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire on #IronworkThursday part II

So gloomy it's hard to tell, but there is an overthrow and light in there somewhere. Welcome to #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire on #IronworkThursday part I

Tiny fragments of wall decoration and/or text on the arch above the south door #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire. The bare stone was evidently coated in lime wash at some stage as copious white patches still persist

Quite a rarity on Mouse scampers to encounter #ChurchesWithRedDoors, and even this is probably a darker shade of pink, but then, that's why it's adorable. South door in C15 rebuild of C14 nave but with a chamfered circular arch #AdoorableThursday #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire

The churches along the #Wiltshire Avon are hardly overburdened with boot scrapers and even this one is somewhat ungenerous in proportion. One can only assume that the parishioners of #StLawrenceStratford had tiny feet #BootScraper #IronWorkThursday

Most of the woodwork at #StLawrenceStratford #Wiltshire is Elizabethan or Jacobean. Narrow, uncomfortable, upright. Eyes front. No chattering. You're not here to enjoy yourself. Listen to the Word! TTM🐭 #Woodensday
