South Door, Kilpeck Church, Herefordshire, England


The Church of St Mary, Kilpeck was built around 1140 probably on the site of an earlier Saxon church. The church is probably the finest example in the UK of the Hereford School of stone masonry, having a multitude of figurative carvings around the door imposts and corbels on the eaves of the nave and chancel, many finely preserved.
