@HistoricRepair @EngChurchPics The fragment is dogtooth relief prob. late C12. It evolved into a raised variant in the Early English. Common decorative banding on arches but also fonts. No dimensions but looks very small. Very common to build masonry from an earlier church into newer walls #Spolia TTM🐭
Este #sarcófago #dionisíaco bastante elegante vem da coleção do cardeal Ferdinando de' #Medici em #Roma, e se tem uma mensagem de #SarcophagusSaturday para nós, é que a reutilização da #spolia não poupou ninguém, nem mesmo os cristãos.

This rather elegant #Dionysiac #sarcophagus comes from the collection of cardinal Ferdinando de' #Medici in #Rome, and if it has a #sarcophagusSaturday message for us, it's that #spolia reuse spared no one, not even Christians.
Although it may just be #Spolia, there is a potential #GhostWindow preserving its original Decorated Period tracery above the chancel door TTM🐭

A little church door needing a step. Note the #spolia upon which the door rests. All Saints, Saxton, nr. Tadcaster. For #AdoorableThursday
@pighilltweets Here comes a #SpoliaAlert. Actually this looks like reused worked stone rather than a rebuild interrupting the pattern. There is #Spolia all over the tower by the looks of it TTM🐭
@Portaspeciosa You're right. Sadly even #Spolia isn't exempted from a #ChurchWiringNightmare TTM🐭
Spolia. The last sample. Can you see the cunningly hidden #SixPetalledFlower? #StMarysWirksworth #SundayStonework #StoneworkSunday #SpoliaSunday #Spolia #Christogram
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 #SpoliaSunday #Spolia
No #spoliaSunday estamos nos #MuseusCapitolinos para ver um lindo altar esculpido com caveiras de touros, guirlandas e fitas. Foi transformado em unidade de medida na #IdadeMédia, um pedaço útil de #spolia que escapou dos fornos de cal.

For #spoliaSunday we're at the #CapitolineMuseums to look at a lovely altar carved with bulls' skulls, garlands, and ribbons. It was turned into a unit of measurement in the #MiddleAges, a useful bit of #spolia that thereby escaped the lime kilns.
Sadly Mouse can't count and there are only five noticeable elements of spolia at #AllSaintsDurrington #Spolia. #DurringtonSpolia (6/6) #SpoliaSunday
Curious projection above the roofline of the south aisle at #AllSaintsDurrington. Close inspection suggests it may be Romanesque lozenge relief carving on blocks reused #Spolia. #DurringtonSpolia (5/6) #SpoliaSunday
Piscina or a capital with a hole for a fitting bar? South wall, south aisle. #AllSaintsDurrington #Spolia. #DurringtonSpolia (4/6) #SpoliaSunday
Possible remains of an earlier piscina. East wall, north aisle. #AllSaintsDurrington #Spolia. #DurringtonSpolia (3/6) #SpoliaSunday
Crosses (grave markers?) west wall, south aisle and north wall, north aisle #AllSaintsDurrington #Spolia. #DurringtonSpolia (2/6) #SpoliaSunday
North and south aisles at #AllSaintsDurrington are said to be C19 although the south looks like a rebuild of an earlier structure. Both sides have some interesting #Spolia. Let's check it out #DurringtonSpolia (1/6) #SpoliaSunday
