St Wulfram Grantham (Lincolnshire, England) was built in Saxon times, re-built by the Normans, added to until the 15th century and then 'improved' by the Victorians.
Two doors high on the walls seem a little incongruous, turn around and look at the doorway
and it is clear that some alterations have occured somewhere back in time. The lovely arched doorway was hacked at in order to build an extra level, the 'new' floor has long gone though.
This little door shows part of the Victorian alterations, see the pipework?
those ugly pipes lead to these
not just any old pipes in this church
memorial plaque on the wall
Stone carving on the door to the crypt
Across the road from the church, this door
There are amazing doors with graceful ironwork, carvings galore, the textiles are a mix of old and new and beautiful. The stonework has the orignal mason's marks. Pattern everhwhere. I will be going back again
