Historia Somnum Caseus. #TheTwitterMouse. A mainly medieval mouse. Archaeology, architecture and all things history. Love a scamper around a medieval church.

Mouse's #RiverAxeTopThree #Somerset. So which of the sixteen churches would Mouse recommend visiting? In at number one: #StJohnAxbridge. Church and town make a fine day out. More Perpy perfection. Crossing and vaulting are wonderful, but add ceilings, roof timbers and monuments

The doorway to the parvis stair has a variant of fleuron carving. These fleurons are far less intricately carved than those found on the west doorway South porch #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday

Extensively moulded C15 doorway #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday. Complex mouldings either side of a cavetto decorated with carvings. Roll moulded label and head stops. The door is pleasingly studded and a delightful duck egg blue

It's late but it's never too late for a classic west door and window combo #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #AdoorableThursday

Detail of porch roof #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #Woodensday. This really is a fine and delicate piece of work. Mouse not seen anything similar in her scampers to date
Very fine roof to the porch #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #Woodensday . Essentially a wagon roof, and with planked panels. Thin rafters supported by corbels. Embattled wall beam (plate), a pattern that continues across the elegant and finely carved ribs

Nave #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #Woodensday. Common rafter roof with purlins and curved collars. The space between rafters is boxed hiding the detail of the roof above the collar purlin. Tiny nail holes in original timber hint that this was once all covered in lath and plaster

Chancel from under chancel arch #StLawrenceWick #Somerset for #Woodensday. Wagon roof (although with a 2-centred geometry) with plastered and painted panels. The embattled wall beam (plate) mirrors the design of the porch roof

The masonry style of this wall suggests a C19 rebuild. The window however may well be C15. The surrounding stonework and mortar indicate that it's reset. Label and head stops certainly look both intact and authentic #StLawrenceWick #Somerset #WindowsOnWednesday #WallsOnWednesday

Oh goodness. Mouse has done this joke before, but much funnier @CathyRLowe. Almost two years ago but with almost identical likes and impressions! Mouse losin' it TTM🐭.
The Big Man and disciples share a last bath before you know what. TBM asks for the soap and Peter denies him not once, not twice but three times. Then Judas runs off with the towels (seen hanging front). "The last Hot Tub" C16 TTM🐭.

A #TwitterSnap is at it's very best when it's unlikely. To quote a Mouse favourite "what are the chances of that happenin', eh?" TTM🐭.#Wirksworth #Derbyshire #TilesOnTuesday
Wirksworth, St Mary the Virgin, Derbyshire . Encaustic tiles in the chancel, supplied by Godwin, are copies of medieval originals found on the site. #TilesOnTuesday #Church #Derbyshire
