St James the Great, Sacristy door - a photo on Flickriver

            I mentioned the high quality masonry in the previous photo, and  this detail is a good example.  

There was clearly no shortage of money when Fulljames added the chancel - the trefoiled reveals  of the sacristy door are carved in Caen stone from Normandy, and the exquisitely carved drip mould, like the rest of the church, is from a local oolitic limestone. Although more Early English in style than the original Perpendicular building, the new work seems quite in harmony with the original.

It is easy to mock some of the efforts of the Victorian era church restorers, and they were indeed responsible for some shockingly inept alterations to medieval buildings, but in this case it was done both sympathetically and with great skill - truly, a little hidden gem!
