Now that the name #TinyLionsAppreciationSociety has been decided(?), a plethora of #tinylions in this armorial window of Turberville family, Bere Regis #Dorset , restored 1875-7 by Hardman from what was recorded in 1600.
‘You’re the king of beasts’ they said. Nobody said anything about not being afraid of heights though. From Old Sarum cathedral. (Salisbury Museum) #TinyLions
Starting the week with a flourish.
And a tiny lion.

Such fantastic happy #tinylions on the medieval floor ties at St Mary the Virgin, North Stoke, Oxfordshire. Dancing and roaring, they are such distinct characters.

Tiles in Hailes church, #Gloucestershire from the Hailes Abbey workshop with #tinylions among the geometric patterns. A fine photo, but not so easy to read! #TilesOnTuesday

The arms of Sir Robert Howard d1653 featuring #tinylions , dancing angels and a chap with toothache. St George’s, Clun, Shropshire.
For #Caterday , one of the happiest #tinylions in existence, and no surprise, as the situation at Teffont Magna is so very lovely! #Wiltshire
Bonus church with #tinylions for #AdoorableThursday at Upleadon, #Gloucestershire , the doorway solidly late Norman, with a Agnus Dei (crude, says P), and two lions. Another creature guards a tree on the capital. This church is well protected!
Happy #tinylions #tinylions appreciationsociety in St Michael at the North Gate, #Oxford , yesterday, in, I think, a Powell's window #stainedglass with the best message: love
#TinyLions for #TongueOutTuesday A classic East Anglian font type, this one with 12 #TinyLions but only one with his tongue out. Rude!
