Sometimes the best things are the smallest.. A tiny window at St Giles, Edingley. #windowsonWednesday

Wide eyed little tigers by Godwins at Tewkesbury Abbey. #TilesOnTuesday

John Piper designed the striking altar frontal in St Oswald's Chapel in Southwell Minster. Choosing the image of a raven after finding out that it was the personal image of the Saint, unfortunately he'd been reading about the wrong Oswald, a happy mistake in my opinion as it's lovely #TextileTuesday

The helm on top of the monument of Ralph Sacheverell d1539 at Holy Trinity, Ratcliffe-on-Soar seems at first sight to have been put there solely as an excellent spot for Ralph to leave his wig... #MonumentsMonday

The 14thC tower at St Peter and St Paul, Great Bowden has a mini, almost reticent steeple. The warm tones of the ironstone the church is built from glows in comparison to the variegated tones of the slate headstones that fill the churchyard. #SteepleSaturday

The moment you realise you're never going to be able to finish the whole column..

Watch your footing, breathe in and mind your head.. a challenging entrance at St Mary's, Deerhurst. #Adoorableday #AdoorableThursday

Sunshine and shadows and a glimpse of the treasures inside St Nicholas, Oddington. #TraceryTuesday

The monument to Sir Thomas Parkyns at St Mary's, Bunny is one I've long wanted to see. Designed by Sir Thomas himself before his death in 1741 it shows him in wrestling pose, ready to take anyone on! Whilst on the right death has taken him on and 'thrown him' #MonumentsMonday

The beakheads surrounding the south door at St John of Jerusalem, Winkburn, Nottinghamshire are a very characterful bunch! #SundayStonework

A 15thC depiction of St Alphege at St Mary's, Deerhurst. Apparently originally a monk at Deerhurst he eventually became the Archbishop of Canterbury before being killed by the Danish army in 1012. I particularly like the variety of patterns and textures in his robe. #StainedGlassSunday

The 9thC Saxon font at St Mary's, Deerhurst with its mesmerising pattern of swirls. The bowl was found abandoned in a farmyard in the mid 19thC, the base was found nearby and the two were subsequently reunited in the church. Such an important piece of art. #FontsOnFriday

Beautiful simplicity at St James the Great, Stoke Orchard, Gloucestershire. #Adoorableday #AdoorableThursday

A faded 14thC St Margaret and her chunky little dragon in the splay of a long blocked window at Hailes Church. #WednesdayWallPaintings

Half finished tiles at St Faith, Overbury depicting a very strange creature, maybe a Manticore as he appears to have cloven hooves. #TilesOnTuesday

A watchful little owl at the absolutely lovely St Swithin's, Compton Beauchamp. #OwlishMonday

Offering a critique of everyones Sunday best either side of the 12thC south door at St John the Baptist, Beckford. #SundayStonework

No, I'm not suddenly taking wonky photos....the 15thC tower at St Martin, Woolstone, Gloucestershire really does lean at a rather alarming angle. So much so that it was stabilized with reinforced concrete piles in the 1970s to stop it abandoning the rest of the church! #SteepleSaturday

Look at the smart and crispy cut 15thC font at St Nicholas, Oddington, don't look at the fabulous early 15thC wall paintings behind it..... focus on the font.... focus on the font... Ooh wall paintings 👀.... #FontsOnFriday

I'm the king of the castle and you're the... An excited crowd of onlookers peering from the battlements at Ampney St Mary, Gloucestershire, sadly whatever it was they were looking at has long ago faded away. #WednesdayWallPaintings

An 18thC trumpeting angel having a slight wardrobe malfunction at St Wilfrid's, Screveton.....thats the problem with trying to multitask whilst wrapped in a towel. #MonumentsMonday

This window of 14thC glass is possibly the highlight at St Michael the Archangel, Halam. The two top lights show St Christopher and St Blaise and the two at the base show Eve spinning and Adam delving. I'm particularly fond of the squished birds in the borders! #StainedGlassSunday

This lock at St Andrew's, Toddington, Gloucestershire looks rather like it's sprouting, sending delicate little tendrils off to explore. #IronworkThursday

Layers of history at St James the Great, Stoke Orchard. The earliest scheme tells the life of St James with fabulous beasties in the borders. These were then limewashed over, Royal Coats of arms were added in the 16thC and then religious texts in the early 18thC. #WednesdayWallPaintings

Either fish or fowl at Hailes Church, Gloucestershire for #TilesOnTuesday

'And this was us on the beach in Corfu'... The angel on the monument to the 5th Duke of Dorset at St Peter's, Lowick sharing their holiday snaps whilst the bear at the feet of the 2nd Earl of Wiltshire does his best to ignore them having seen them all many times before.. #MonumentsMonday

The reredos in the north aisle at St Andrew's, Barnwell is a fascinating piece of sculpture. Two slim ogee arches sit either side of a wider one, the cusps covered in carvings of foliage with a frieze of very cheery heads above the finials. (insensitive wiring of the day.. ) #WallsonWednesday

Foliage as tracery in the choir stalls at Southwell Minster. Carved in 1886 by C.H.Simpson they show a wide variety of flora, fauna and animals and are a real testament to his skill as a wood carver. #TraceryTuesday

A couple of rather disturbing whales at the head and feet of Richard Whalley d1583 at St Wilfrid's, Screveton. One suspects that the sculptor of this very fine alabaster might never have actually seen a whale.. #MonumentsMonday

Richard Whalley d1583 was a very busy man indeed. A politician and important at the Royal Court. However he found time to marry three times and fathered 25 children! His fine alabaster tomb is now sadly relegated to the base of the tower at St Wilfrid's, Screveton. #MonumentsMonday
