QI at #TempleMoore Nunthorpe, St Mary, thinking that the old church architects knew it all and we know nuffink... Spiral treads scooped at the newel to restrain a rope handrail. The modern replacement is somewhat weedy compared.

Unexpected and lovely gift when visiting Hart, St Mary Magdalene @DioceseofDurham to look at their heating and font. They have their Saxon treasures on display now. And they are very impressive.

Quality Church Reordering Here, level access has been achieved at a Grade I Medieval Church. Stone paving was laid leading up to the door with new jamb stones inserted to lower the level, also a smart new flush iron drainage channel fixed at the threshold. The solid oak door was carefully designed and proportioned to appear in the style of joinery from the medieval period. Attention to detail included Marian scribe marks to the surfaces of the door, a gothic Marian drop handle, hot nailed studs, and traditional straps and pintles, all of which were hand forged from wrought iron. A combination of lime and linseed oil was used to protect the exposed surfaces of the door.

Look what we (the building profession) can do when we try.....doing this only takes a little more effort over the bland housing estates we have come to accept. Well done to those that had the vision here!
New homes in Hertfordshire. Growing a village courteously. Making places better with new homes
