More spolia. Look carefully. The queen and king of hearts, various mythical beasts, some animals from a mason who has never seen them for real and sundry architectural remnants. #StMarysWirksworth #SundayStonework #StoneworkSunday #Spolia Sunday #Spolia
Spolia. The last sample. Can you see the cunningly hidden #SixPetalledFlower ? #StMarysWirksworth #SundayStonework #StoneworkSunday #Spolia Sunday #Spolia #Christogram
One of many remarkable features of #StMarysWirksworth is the array of Anglo Saxon Spolia. This is Mouse's favourite. The face bottom left and the tiny man above further left.

From crossing to chancel arch (C19) #StMarysWirksworth showing three bay north and south arcade of double chamfered pointed arches on octagonal piers and clerestory windows above.
Every place has something that appears on social media constantly. The wonderful town of #Wirksworth has two. This is one of them, the venerable old font of #StMarysWirksworth , restored as only Victorians can... #FontsOnFriday
The church of #StMarysWirksworth is a cruciform church rich in detail and history. This is a reprise for Mouse but she can't resist re-sharing some of her photos
Chancel #StainedGlassSunday #StMarysWirksworth . Huge five light perpendicular style window with ornate tracery.
Looking west through crossing showing three orders of chamfered arch on circular, three sided cavetto and then three sided roll moulded attached shafts supporting moulded capitals. A beautiful architectural feature #StMarysWirksworth
One last Tweet for the day. Gates to the precincts of #StMarysWirksworth . Funny angle due to bins cheated out of shot. Nice though. #Thursgate #IronworkThursday
Mouse finds herself on home turf for a quick holiday skitter. Revisiting the church of St. Mary the Virgin in the wonderful town of Wirksworth. Looking splendid in some surprise sunshine. #StMarysWirksworth #Wirksworth #Derbyshire
