Should've taken more to assure you that this #AdoorableThursday door at Shrivenham, ##Oxfordshire, is a very squat door, the moulding seemingly rather ambitiously large and grandiose for its dimensions. On the porch, but not the way in...

For #Woodensday this side altar on Shrivenham, #Oxfordshire, was installed c. 1927 by Eva, Ada and Blanche Milligan, the loving nieces of Justina Milligan who lived at Rectory Manor, and, in their words, was a benefactress of the village.

For #TilesOnTuesday this is St Matthew, #Cheltenham, #Gloucestershire, the east end by the architect Ewan Christian with this reredoa actually strictly a #MosaicMonday of stone panels, c. 1879, but looking like tiles.

This is both appalling and ridiculous!

RTing for #OwlishMonday - gorgeous!

William Horn and Benjamin Kent, 1730s chuchwardens of Shrivenham, #Oxfordshire (oops, got it wrong yesterday!) make their presence known right by the door these days #MementoMoriMonday also, C Farr - another chuchwarden sneaked on? Or the maker?

No photos for the #HarebellChallenge - I've seen them, but so far only from the car while stuck behind leisurely browsing cows of Rodborough Common, #Stroud, do here's another freshly out plant, water mint, on the canal the same afternoon #wildflowerhour

This #Victorian #AnytimeAngel looks as knackered as I feel! She's in Shrivenham, #Wiltshire and her job is to hold up this older memorial - a weighty column and urn - and she's clearly feeling it! #SundayStonework

For #SteepleSaturday, let's go to Erlach, #Switzerland, the only medieval part of the church - the rest built in 1688, as proclaimed on nearly everything in the church! Taken at dusk *before* we accidently turned on the outside lights and couldn't turn them off 😬

For #FontsOnFriday it's back to St Omer cathedral, #France, for some cool, elegant marble with a nice Nativity in the background - can you spot the bonus font-like image in there?

Wot an accolade! Especially for a door that's only, say, 20cm high!

A teeny-tiny door for #AdoorableThursday - on an altar in Troyes cathedral, #France, complete with intricate door furniture, an Agnus Dei and ballflower!

For St Swithun's day, because of course he deserves a party, even if it is raining... #StSwithinsDay #40DaysOfRain?

Lovely what I assume to be #medieval #TilesOnTuesday from Troyes cathedral, #France - it's strange not having the detailed info that one can usually get on British churches! Ah well, c'est la vie!

A rather shy owl greeted us in Malmesbury, #Wiltshire the other week, but I'm sure they won't mind saying hello for #OwlishMonday...

Stunning early C17th #stainedglass from Troyes cathedral, #France, apparently by Linard Gonthier, a glass painter in the city, in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament #StainedGlassSunday

All set up for tonight's #booklaunch at @caperoxford with Alistair McNaught's new novel The City by the Sea - a vision of a place not here, but strangely familiar- and dark! Come and join us! Opens at 5.30pm for a couple of hours...

Lovely almost pure white hollyhock spotted on a flit to the Co op in the heat #summerflowers #heatwave
