The latch (glicied?) on the gate, installed in the C18th, at St. Melangell, Wales is still doing its job all these years later. #continuity Image
The blacksmith has added a little flourish to the latch - now worn with almost 3 centuries of use. #continuity Image
The lock at the back of the gate is just as beautiful #continuity Image
The gate at St. Melangell in Wales is dated 1763 and the carver has added a little angelic flourish to the finials #continuity Image
Here’s the gate in full at St. Melangell in Wales #continuity Image

Chapter houses are some of the most breathtaking structures in a cathedral or church.
The ribbed vaulting of Southwell Minster's C13th chapter house doesn't have a central pier - it hovers over the space allowing light to flood into the heart of the building. #thread 📸 by me.. Image
Having said that - York's late C13th chapter house doesn't have a central pier either - the vault was renewed by John Carr in 1798 (in plaster). Image
Lincoln's chapter house is one of my favourites - organic in nature - pushing upwards and outwards like a tree: Image

St. Mary, Breamore in Hampshire is a remarkably complete Anglo-Saxon survival of the late C10th. Here I photographed it with the Elizabethan Breamore House in the background. #thread Image
Inside the two storey porch there survives an artefact as rare as hens teeth - an Anglo-Saxon rood with traces of colour. Continued.. Image

Here's a selection of Anglo Saxon buildings for your delectation and delight: 1. The remarkably complete C10th Anglo-Saxon tower at All Saints’ church, Earls Barton, Northamptonshire. #thread Image
2. The C10th Anglo- Saxon tower of St. Peter, Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire. This tower was key in Thomas Rickman's discovery and identification of the style in 1819. Image
3. All Saint's Church Brixworth, Northamptonshire is perhaps the most important survival of Anglo-Saxon architecture north of the Alps. Much of the C7th church remains from the reign of King Wulfhere in the form of a Roman Basilica. The stair turret is C10th. Spire is C14th. Image

Great Coxwell barn in Oxfordshire was built in 1292. Dendrochronology has shown that some of its timbers were felled in 1256, whilst the majority were felled in the winter of 1291. It was part of a Cistercian abbey founded by King John. Image
Great Coxwell barn in Oxfordshire was built in 1292 and has an organic beauty that is so appealing. Image
