Doorway - Saint Mary the Virgin, Shipton-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire
The western doorway is at the base of the tower, which was begun around 1200, but the decoration around the arch looks to be a little later.
Whatever, it's ornamental masonry to a high standard, and matched by the elaborate ironwork on the doors, which are seemingly much later. The church was restored in the 19th century by the architect G.E. Street, so the hinges might even date from that time.
1960 Kodak 66, f4.5/75mm Anaston lens, x2 yellow filter. Foma 400 in Thornton's Two Bath, 6+6mins@21C.
