The outer  porch door  lacks stops.

 

 

This decorated stop is a reused capital from the top of a pillar.
 

The inner porch door is the only instance of stops not being human heads. The stops here are of foliage.
 

 


 

The left head has a crispness to the edges and a style that suggests it is Victorian.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Window 7 is of three lights, that is there are three main areas of glass, and has a hoodmould with distinctive angles rather than curves at the corner. The stonework on the left above the head appears to be Victorian replacement


 

The right head is more weathered than the left but the design resembles other Victorian heads.

 

The design of the left head suggests Victorian. The degree of weathering suggests it being original but this head faces west and has therefore subject to the most exposure to the prevailing west wind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Window 8 is similar in design of hoodmould to window 7. The stonework of the hoodmould appears to be all Victorian replacement.

Features of the four heads from these two windows are that there is more detail on the front than the side. The head and stone that fits into the wall was carved on a rectangular block, the features of the face are mainly symmetrical, the eyebrows and eyes have the characteristics also found on window 7. 

The right hand head has features as the left.
