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.
This print is stuck to the reverse of the mount for OP26631. It is unclear whether it was also donated by the Municipal Libraries in Bath.
This photograph was withdrawn from the open Red Box Collection for conservation reasons during the 2011-2012 Red Box Project.
