And finally from Mouse; two doors from #StAndrewBurnham #Somerset, including a most curious concoction (right) a #FrankenDoor if ever Mouse saw one #AdoorableThursday

Monolithic slightly draped arch on shallow chamfered jambs flanked by large nook shafts surmounted by Romanesque capitals (fairly obvious repairs to left, facing). A real curiosity and possible #FrankenDoor

The dog tooth decorated hood mould with square (actually never finished) stops around the double chamfered circular south doorway #StMichaelCoombeBissett #Wiltshire is of a later date. Although a popular carved motif from C13 this is a mismatched Victorian #FrankenDoor addition

The church of #AllSaintsWoodford has C12 origins but screams Victorian because of a C19 ground up rebuild without a vestige of Romanesque left. Well, apart from this reset #FrankenDoor. The insertion of the pointed arch into the tympanum ... Victorian #AdoorableThursday

Described as a much modified and now blocked Romanesque doorway, Mouse would be amazed if any more that 10% is actually post-Conquest if indeed anything at all. North of nave (surprise) #StLawrenceWestbury #Somerset #AdoorNoMore #DoorwayThursday #FrankenDoor

South of chancel #StPeterBleadon #Somerset #AdoorableThursday The cusped head of this priest's door is probably C13 but this is a C19 assemblage of 'bits found hither and thither'. A typical Victorian #FrankenDoor, if you will

Reprise: #StMaryAndStMelorAmesbury. West side, north transept. From the inside: Chamfered pointed door surround with three quarter roll moulded hood mould. This should be on the outside of a building. Now Mouse is wondering. Re-sited #FrankenDoor? #AdoorableThursday
Reprise: #StMaryAndStMelorAmesbury. This in-situ door with pointed arch and pointed segmental re-re arch opens towards you. It isn't an external door it was designed to let into the north transept from a now demolished lean-to building attached to the nave. #AdoorableThursday

Curious Norman #FrankenDoor #AdoorableThursday TTM🐭
#AdoorableThursday St Gregory’s, Morville, Shropshire : “The priest’s doorway is Norman, set forward in an ashlar surround, with worn foliage in the small tympanum. It has clearly been tampered with and includes a tablet dated 1683” (Pevsner).

And lo! An example of how the shouldered arch came about. In this surround the imposts on either side form the shoulders and a monolithic lintel sits on top. Later shouldered doors incorporate the shoulder into arch not jamb (it is a #FrankenDoor though) TTM🐭#MasonryMonday
In the chancel of the church of St Peter & St Paul, Kings Sutton. Turning my back on the ghastly wall monument, I much preferred to rest my gaze on the neat doorway opposite. G G Scott's restoration of 1866 can be seen in evidence here. The zig-zag decorated arches are his.

Mouse suspect a #FrankenDoor, but it's a fabulous photo and look! A Mouse Romanesque favourite the #SixPetalledFlower blooming in abundance #Christogram
#ADoorableThursday St John the Baptist, Letton, Herefordshire. Late 11th century South door with contemporary door and ironwork. The massive red sandstone lintel has close relatives at nearby Bredwardine and Willersley, very likely all by the same hand.

This is interesting. It shows how a #FrankenDoor can come about. Three orders of arch (no rice thanks). The shafts have been robbed out (two, maybe three). It's why you see Romanesque-style doors re-set with very obviously replaced (much later) shafts one side or the other TTM🐭

@DoorsNo3828 Mouse sad to say but closer inspection suggests something of the re-set #FrankenDoor about it. It is lovely though TTM🐭

@CathyRLowe Mouse think it a #FrankenDoor. See the little notch in the lintel? Makes Mouse wonder if this is a very flat #Ogee TTM🐭

@DoorsNo3828 Interesting one. The arch is part of an arcade by the looks of it, but Mouse suspicious of the inner doorway. Could this really be a #FrankenDoor? TTM🐭

@DoorsNo3828 @DarrenMcLean_uk True examples of a #FrankenDoor. There are elements of both Romanesque and Gothic carving intermingled with much later elements. Mouse wonder if there was an Abbey nearby that got demolished and the components spread through the town TTM🐭 #Spolia

@leshuguenots Just a bit of Mouse terminology. A #FrankenDoor is a concoction of lots of bits re-set into the church rather like Frankenstein's monster. Often a Victorian idea of what a Romanesque surround would look like. Worse they often put Early English arches on Romanesque columns TTM🐭
