Doorway - Saint Mary the Virgin, Shipton-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire

The western doorway is at the base of the tower, which was begun around 1200, but the decoration around the arch looks to be a little later.

Whatever, it's ornamental masonry to a high standard, and matched by the elaborate ironwork on the doors, which are seemingly much later. The church was restored in the 19th century by the architect G.E. Street, so the hinges might even date from that time.
