Doors of England, Devon and Cornwall

I create photo themes when I travel. On my recent trip to England, I started taking pictures of doors, all sorts of doors, although on review there seems to be a lot of Church doors. Not surprising when you consider some of those church doors have been around for centuries, developing character.

Anyway, here's my "doors" I hope you enjoy them.

 This and the companion photo (see next one) impressed me with the confidence displayed by the builder in the anticipation that it was going to remain the magistrate entrance for so long that he, literally, carved it in stone You might have to enlarge the view to clearly see the title

Hi Jim,
Very nice work. I was maintaining a similar gallery of doors and windows in India and I came across yours while searching. I have now added this to a topic. Great work.http://www.pbase.com/yardbird/favorites_themes_doorswindows
