This roof is the winner from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg by a Somerset mile. Even though it is the skeleton of a once wagon roof it is an impressive structure in its own right #StGeorgeDunster #WoodensDay

Section of the rood screen from #StGeorgeDunster. Hard to believe it's carved from wood. The canopy vaulting is exquisite incorporating daggers and quatrefoil. A C15 masterpiece. Thank the Great Mouse it survived #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster #WoodensDay

Not just the finest screen dividing nave from quire from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg but the finest Mouse has yet seen, extending across the width of the church. Worth a visit just for this alone #StGeorgeDunster #WoodensDay

Wonderful for wooden roofs from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMaryKilve. Chancel (left) and nave. A rare opportunity to see what a wagon roof looks like underneath the skin. The bosses mark out the panels which, made of lathe and plaster #Woodensday

The marvellous late C16-C18 barn at Littlewood Hall Farm, Ulnes Walton, near Croston, pictured in 1957. It survives, although altered since and hemmed in by modern farm buildings. GII Listed. (Ulnes Walton is from 'Ulf's 'wall farm/settlement'.) #Woodensday #Lancashire
