Currently curled up in my den, but popping my head out every so often to catch cakes.
As it's Friday, I'm asking all my followers to please retweet (and comment) on this post if you see it, to help my bird account be seen! 🙏😀 To make it worth sharing, here's a tiny Goldcrest saying 'Hi' 😁😍 Thank you very much! ♥️
The south door of St Saviour’s Church in Dartmouth is one of the finest medieval doors in England. It is oak, iron, faith, monarchy and craftsmanship held together in one extraordinary object. The door’s ironwork shows a great Tree of Life spreading across the oak. Around it are two leopards, symbols associated with the Plantagenets, worked into the design with remarkable medieval skill. The date 1631 appears on the door, but that is not its true beginning. This marks a later refurbishment. The oak itself was carbon-dated in the 1970s and was found to have been felled before 1372. A door made before Chaucer had finished his Canterbury Tales. Still standing after more than six centuries. #EnglishHistory #MedievalHistory #EnglishHeritage
