This poor angel has lost an arm, a wing and half of his eek and riah (for those fond of Round the Horne). He's down to a wing and a prayer....

They left me behind! This little fella (worry not, pronouns checked) has been left to 'look after the fort' both metaphorically and in reality. This corbel predates the castle by some way, so it's at least a second home for this #Spolia #RaglanCastle #Wales #FridaysFacesInStone

Classic niche design. Croqueted #Ogee canopy with finials, pinnacles extend from piers and responds. Garden centre quality statues but nice to see the niches used. Not just #FridaysFacesInStone but #FridaysFiguresInStone

Care worn...
Mouse say it every time, but there is something deeply sad about these medieval faces eroding away. It's possible that no one knows what the once looked like
#FridaysFacesInStone from #StMichaelBrentKnoll #Somerset. Original and in-situ

Loss of face...
These are described as angels, but Mouse think they are seated figures. There seems to have been a (now) lost bottom section and although weathered were probably not the original stops #StMaryHutton #Somerset #FridaysFacesInStone

And finally from Mouse for the evening some of #FridaysFacesInStone. Mouse couldn't make her mind up if the one on the right is a later replacement. The face seems to look. Well. Victorian

More #Ogee moulding than you could shake a mitre at. The provenance of the label is somewhat questionable (look at the joins) but it gives the impression that a green man is spewing it forth #FridaysFacesInStone

It's late but it's never too late to enjoy #RomanesqueRiday (thank you Rufus). When you consider the statues of classical Rome a thousand years earlier these Norman Romanesque faces seem so primitive... and yet they have personality #StAndrewClevedon #Somerset #FridaysFacesInStone

The slowly eroding head stops of the priest's door, south of the south chapel. It makes Mouse sad that all over the country such centuries old faces will soon be lost forever

These head stops are so pristine that Mouse thinks they are C19 additions, but then there is the distinct possibility that some or even all of the doorway dates to the same period #FridaysFacesInStone (part the first) from #StPeterPortishead #Somerset
