Such amazing decoration on this #Medieval portal.
The mixing of “Labours of the Month, “Signs of the Zodiac” with other #Romanesque decorative motifs.
@malcolmstoneman.bsky.socialSainte-Croix, Bordeaux, France
A wonderful #Romanesque portal
The 19th Century architect, Paul Abadie, remodelled the west facade, but probably did not alter such great carvings
🙏 @horatioforever.bsky.social for such a wonderful first introduction to Bordeaux
@samartetc.bsky.socialI was lucky enough to visit Verona recently, and San Zeno Maggiore was a highlight from the neighborhood I was staying in. A masterpiece of Italian Romanesque architecture, dating largely from the 11th–12th centuries.

@stroudstory.bsky.socialYep, that obligatory #AdoorableThursday door par excellence, perhaps the best - or at least wackiest - #Romanesque doorway on a parish church in England, it is, of course, Kilpeck, #Herefordshire - what beasts, what beakheads, what interlacing dragon snails!

@malcolmstoneman.bsky.socialYes, Ashwater church was fascinating - not just for the #Romanesque font, but also for the wood carving by John Northcott of Ashwater.
We need to return to explore the churches of the Devon/Cornwall border, to include Clawton.
I grew up further south in Plymouth.
@joseaniba.bsky.social@malcolmstoneman.bsky.socialChurch of St Michael. Meeth, Devon
Plain #Romanesque south doorway, but with balls & stars decoration to outer arch.
