@ghackler Interesting how roughly carved the arcades and pilasters are in comparison to St. Laurence🐭

@richmondie Old Pevs cornered the market and is still the most extensive reference guide, but he did go off piste quite often. Whimsical Mouse would say🐭

The things you find out on Twitter! Can you imagine the Clifton suspension bridge as a crocketed #Ogee with finial? Kind of works for Mouse who is flushed always with #OgeeLove. Then Mouse realised. The rise of Old Butterfingers. Mouse church restoration (ruination) nemesis TTM🐭
Weird Bristol@WeirdBristol

The design of the Clifton Suspension Bridge was decided by a competition in which engineers and amateurs alike submitted ideas. This ornate design, from 16 year old William Butterfield was rejected in the first round as it was feared that the structure couldn’t support itself 1/2

@richmondie Echoing the pilasters of classical Greece and Rome which were still standing when most Saxon stone buildings were erected. But that's old Pevs for you. A wee bit hit and miss🐭

Time for a #NerdyMouseAlert. Look away now if you don't like minute technical detail. A pilaster strip sits in a channel in the wall. It may be laid with each stone course or cut in later #PilasterStrip #StLaurenceDecoration #WallsOnWednesday #StLaurenceBradfordOnAvon #Wiltshire

The vertical, very slight projection from this wall's surface is a pilaster strip or lesene (different from a pilaster which has a base and capital) #PilasterStrip. It is a feature of both Saxon and Norman architecture #WallsOnWednesday #StLaurenceBradfordOnAvon #Wiltshire

@Jim73131158 @TheHistoryMouse Jim's photo was one of the first I saw at around 6am this morning, and my first thought was who's going to comment on the 'nicked nook' - most certainly Mouse will spot it!

It's #MouseFollowersInHistoricalEvents. Today Mouse reach 1715 followers In 1715 the Jacobite rising pitted the Old Pretender against newly enthroned King George I. George ascended due to the Act of Settlement 1701 [Mouse's followers oscillate so these are high water marks]
