11th century stone carvings above the door of St. Helen’s Church, Austerfield, Nottinghamshire, England.
Above the door in the church’s south porch is a lively dragon carved about nine hundred years ago. The surrounding arches are characteristic of architectural decoration from the end of the eleventh century, when the Norman Conquest of 1066 resulted in architectural innovation.
