Some of the interesting features of the doorway include a tympanum depicting the Tree of Life flanked by two beasts and a seated figure carved under the hood mould. There is also a ring of beak-heads around the tympanum which is unusual for a church in Somerset.
On the rear of the mount is another print showing a similar image of the Norman doorway.
