Codford St Mary, Wiltshire
I thought these volutes had a sort of animal-eye type effect. Or is that just my overactive imagination. Next stop The Owl Service.

Chirton, Wiltshire
I visited specifically to see the Beaky Creatures of the superb main doorway.
But luckily someone had come to clean the church and I was also able to see the figures carved on the font.
